“We were a bit like the Von Trapp family in 'The Sound of Music'”

BarcelonaBetween Four Walls, Animal Architects, Human Scale...Núria Moliner has brought architecture to television with a relatable, everyday perspective. But she hadn't planned to dedicate herself to communications, which was a skill more expected of her sister, actress Anna Moliner, who studied audiovisual communication. "I'm excited because in a way, I predicted I'd end up dedicating myself to it, even though I studied architecture," she says, referring to the childhood photography she shares with the ARA. Now she even has a production company, into which she puts a lot of dedication alongside the team, with the intention of creating "truly beautiful and interesting" productions.

So why did she fiddle with a camera when she was so young? "A gift my family gave me is a way of observing and codifying the world that doesn't just consist of designing and building but also awakening your curiosity about the world and trying to improve it." And they did this by taking her to museums, concerts, picking up a camera, or playing an instrument—experiences that she could only understand intuitively at the time, but which have stayed with her, she says: "My father would give me a canvas and say, 'Paint.'" In fact, when people came to our house, they would often sing as a family: "We were a bit like the Von Trapp family from Ssmiles and tears", She says, cachonda.

She feels lucky to spend her summers in her favorite landscape, where she spent her holidays when she was little, in Torroella de Montgrí, in Baix Empordà. "I remember drawing the Medes Islands 50,000 times. I was captivated by the landscape," explains Moliner, who since then misses the sea when she goes for a while without seeing it. "For me, the best public space is the promenade, the beach, not for sunbathing, but for walking," she now affirms from her perspective as an architect. And what is the summer home of the communicator who opens the door to other people's homes for us? "A tiny beach apartment, which used to belong to sailors, all white because the sea is the protagonist," he says, and continues: "An Empordà paradise, but at the same time a simple place, with little nonsense and few luxuries beyond nature, unlike other towns in the Empordà, which are very forbidden. I like it because there's so much of it." trash".

During the summers in this extension of her house she felt "that everything was possible": "We could be at the beach until 4 pm and you wouldn't have noticed, you ate delicious fruit, you went up to dinner late because you were with all your friends." A family anecdote reflects her enthusiasm. Years ago, I told my mother: "It's the happiest day of my life."
