Architect Alberto Campo Baeza from Estudio Arquitectura Campo Baeza shares a short video reflection for our 2026 festival theme “Too much? What is just enough?”, answering the question: What does “just enough” mean to you, both in architecture and in life?
“The easiest way to answer your very precise question is: It means to be happy. And what is the best way to be happy? To make people around you happy. How to translate this happiness into my work: I try to make the most beautiful pieces all over the world. To be happy, to get the beauty. Just enough.”
Campo Baeza has been a tenured Professor at ETSAM in Madrid for over 35 years. His work ranges from landmark houses such as the House of the Infinite and the Olnick Spanu House to major public projects including the Caja de Granada Savings Bank and the Museum of Memory of Andalucía. His architecture has been widely exhibited internationally, most recently in 2025 at Casa de la Arquitectura (Ministry of Housing).
