Fernando Alonso Tuero

Fernando Alonso Tuero is an architect founder of ATUERO, an international architectural office based in Basel, Switzerland.

From 2013 to 2022, Fernando worked at Herzog & de Meuron in Basel. He studied at the School of Architecture in A Coruña (ETSAC), Spain, with exchange studies at the Polytechnic University of Milan, Italy. He earned his Diploma with Honors in 2011 and was awarded as one of the 20 best Spanish Diploma Projects at the 11th Spanish Biennial of Architecture and Urbanism (BEAU) 2010-2011.
