Dr. Calvo-Salve earned his PhD in 2015 with a dissertation about the influences of Bauhaus artists in the work of Marcel Breuer. The dissertation was awarded with an International European Merit. Before teaching at Marywood he was teaching at the School of Architecture CESUGA-University College Dublin between 2008 and 2013. He also is the founder of Spain-based firm, a climate-focused design that develops architecture work in the areas of public primary care centers, low- income housing, urban design and conservation and intervention in architectural heritage.
His award-winning professional career, is positioned at the intersection of architecture, materials, technology and landscape. Since he was a student at the Universidad Politécnica de Madrid, Spain, he was awarded at important competitions like RIBA International Students Competition in 1990 with his project. “L´Antigrazioso”. During his professional career he was awarded with 1st Prize in the design competition for the Bus Station of Xinzo de Limia, Ourense and with 3rd prize for low-income housing in SUNP-25, Santiago de Compostela. He also designed the Landscape intervention in the bridge “Puente de la Cruz”. Pazos de Arenteiro. The Master plan of the Medieval Castle of Sarmiento, Ribadavia. Landscape project of the Historic and Artistic Site of San Estevo de Rivas de Sil; and the School of Theatre and Music for the Atlantic Area.
His research focus on the importance of the intangible values in architectural work, looking for those relationships between material and in-material elements that makes architecture a unique discipline. Samples of this are his article “Profane and sacred space” published in in the book about the Cemetery of Finisterre, the publication of his Professional work in the Intervention and Conservation of Castle of Ribadavia as “Timeless Brass” in the Magazine: Copper Architecture Forum, the article “What Matters is Light – Light as Matter. The experience of the Course: Art & Craft of Building. Building with Natural Light” published by the European association of Architectural Education where he addresses how building materials and construction techniques have a poetic dimension, particularly as it related to natural lighting. He recently has edited the book “Conservation/Consumption. Preserving the Tangible and intangible Values”, published the article “Conservation and Demolition. Memory and Oblivion” published in the collection “Transaction of Architectural Education” by EAAE, and lately his article The Adoption of Cross-Shaped Buildings for Mass Housing in the Modern Movement published and presented at the highly prestigious biannual International Conference DOCOMOMO 2020+1 in Tokyo, Japan.
His current research has been granted with a Murray Award to study the facades of the buildings in which Marcel Breuer used his designs of per-cast panels to showcase the interaction of sun and shadows along the day and how the façade experience changes. He is recording time-lapse videos in the facades and developed 3D computer drawings of each of the different typologies. Based on these 3D computer drawings create a realistic and scaled 3D printed model of each of the different typologies of precast concrete panels. The research has already been disseminated in a Keynote speech and an International Conference.
