Teodoro Fernández Larrañaga (born April 11, 1948, San Sebastián, Spain) is a Chilean architect of Spanish heritage.

Education and career

Fernández was born in San Sebastián, Spain, and immigrated to Chile when he was very young with his parents and siblings. He graduated as an architect from the Pontifical Catholic University of Chile in 1972. Later, he relocated to Madrid to continue his studies. He has taught as a professor at the University of Desarrollo, University of Concepción, Ricardo Palma University in Lima, and the National University of La Plata in Argentina.[1]

In 1998, he led the winning team of the public competition called by the City Council of Vitacura to design the Parque Bicentenario, situated on the banks of the Mapocho River.[2] Construction began in 2006, and it was inaugurated in two stages: the first, covering 18 hectares, opened to the public in 2007. Then, in November 2011, the second and final phase was inaugurated.

In 2014 he received the National Architecture Award of Chile.[3]
