Biography

Liliana Palaia Pérez studied architecture at the Faculty of Architecture, Design, and Urban Planning of the University of Buenos Aires, where she obtained her degree in 1974. She moved to Valencia, Spain for family reasons in May 1975, qualifying for the Higher Architect title at the Higher Technical School of Architecture (ETSAV). She soon returned to ETSAV to complete her Doctoral courses, culminating with the defense of her thesis Funciones y desarrollo del mercado central de Valencia, y sus implicaciones en la vida urbana (Functions and Development of the Central Market of Valencia, and its Implications for Urban Life) in 1982, directed by Dr. Pedro Navascués.[1]

In 1978 she was hired as Professor in charge of ETSAV's Construction Department, becoming a full-time Collaborating Professor in 1984. She obtained the position of Associate Professor in 1986, and Full Professor in 2000, working at the University until she retired in 2012.

In 1984 she completed the ICCROM International Course on Wood Conservation Technology, taught in Trondheim, Norway, specializing in the field of conservation of historic wooden structures. From 1987 to 1989 she moved to England on an academic visa to complete the course Historic Building Conservation at the Architectural Association School of Architecture in London. There she attained a Diploma in Building Conservation, after her defense of the thesis Compatible Systems of Repair in Arches, Vaults and Domes (07-1989). The research work for her chair was carried out from 1998 to 2000 on overlapping roof structures in historical buildings of the Valencian Community.

She also freely practiced her profession from 1978 to 1984, when she focused on her teaching and research work.[2][3]

Architectural work

From 1978 to 1984, the year in which she became exclusively dedicated to the Technical University of Valencia, Palaia Pérez worked on new construction projects for housing structures in the city of Valencia, as well as several single-family homes in nearby towns. Since the approval of the Organic University Law (LOU), according to which she is allowed to conduct projects of investigative relevance through contracts with the University, she has carried out works related to the conservation of buildings, dedicating herself to this field since then, forming part of interdisciplinary teams to carry out studies and projects for the restoration, conservation, and rehabilitation of historic buildings.[4][5]

Painting and drawing

Since retiring as a Professor at the Technical University of Valencia, Liliana Palaia Pérez has taken courses in painting and drawing at that institution, beginning her artistic career. She has participated in several group exhibitions.[6][7]
