Pedro José Borrell Bentz (born in Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic October 6, 1944) [2] is an internationally recognized Dominican architect and archeologist [3] who has earned several awards and is recognized for the transcendence in his architectural designs. [4]
Pedro José Borrell was born in Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic on October 6, 1944. His parents were Agustín Borrell Hungría (the son of José Ramón Borrell Arché, of Catalan and French descent, and Ana Joaquina Hungría Valdez) and Rosa Bentz de Ferrari (daughter of Rodolfo Tomás Bentz Hachtmann, who was born to German parents, and Margarita Ana Francisca de Ferrari, a native from Santa Margherita Ligure in northern Italy). He graduated with a degree in arts from the National School of Fine Arts in Santiago and later in architecture from the University of Santo Domingo in 1967. From 1967 to 1971 he was director of the Planning Office for the Universidad Católica Madre y Maestra. [5] From 1971 going forward, Borrell has been devoted in the field of architecture and construction with distinguished contributions in the fields of photography, underwater archeology and environmental conservatism. [6]
Among his most notable architectural works are the National Aquarium, [7] Headquarters for Banco Popular Dominicano, [8] Juan Pablo Duarte Government Building (El Huacal) [9] and Novo Mundo XXI, a coastal reclamation project which will be hosted by a million square meters on the Caribbean Sea, along the waterfront of Santo Domingo. [10]
In pursuit of his interests of underwater archaeology and conservation he has been Executive Director of the Underwater Archeological Rescue Committee since 1979, [11] responsible for rescuing national heritage immersed in the remains of ancient shipwrecks off the Dominican Republic’s coast. His experience in this field has prompted him to write several books and articles on the subject which have been published both nationally and internationally.
He has written articles in Geomundo, Unesco's Museum Magazine [12] and in Dominican News Paper Listín Diario. Has also published several books: Arqueología Submarina en la República Dominicana, Planificación Física de la Pontificia Universidad Catolica Madre y Maestra y Rescate del Galeón Concepción. He is also co-author of Navegantes y Náufragos and co-editor of La Aventura del Guadalupe, both published in Madrid, Spain and Novo Mundo XXI, a coastal reclamation project which will be hosted by a million square meters on the Caribbean Sea, along the waterfront of Santo Domingo.
