Born in Barcelona in 1951, he studied architecture at Escola Tècnica Superior d’Arquitectura de Barcelona (ETSAB), where he also worked as assistant editor of the influential architecture magazine ‘Arquitecturas Bis’ in the 70s and 80s. He graduated in 1987 and, together with his wife Eileen Liebman, established Liebman Villavecchia Arquitectos. The practice has focused in particular on the reuse of historic houses, both in urban and rural settings, which have been consistently selected for the FAD Awards and have earned the practice a number of architectural prizes. In 2016 an exhibition of their work was held at COAC in Barcelona. Between 1991 and 2011 Fernando taught a number of design studios at Escuela Técnica Superior de Arquitectura del Vallés (ETSAV) and was guest professor at the University of Cartagena de Indias, Colombia in 1998.
Ever since he first visited Cadaqués in 1955, his personal and professional involvement in this small town has been a constant and meaningful feature of his life.
