Born in 1937, Enric Sòria graduated at Barcelona s School of Architecture (ETSAB) in 1970. After graduating, he worked in the office of Oriol Bohigas, where he met Jordi Garcés, with whom he collaborated until 1996. Together, they laid the groundwork of the rationalism and avant-garde movements, advocating the geometry of architecture and the functionalities of its composition.

In the early days of the Garcés-Sòria partnership, they designed the Sylvestrina table lamp, an electrified oil lamp with cable and switch. The Sylvestrina is considered a design classic and in 2019, Santa & Cole edited it, making it into a portable lamp equipped with a rechargeable battery.

In addition to his work as an architect, Enric Sòria has taught at several renowned schools in Barcelona since the 1990s, including his alma mater, ETSAB, the ELISAVA design school and the La Salle School of Architecture.

In 2014, Enric Sòria was awarded the Ciutat de Barcelona prize by the Barcelona City Council for his work in the restoration and conversion of the Borne Market into a cultural centre. At present, he continues to work on the architectural design of various civic projects at his own offices.
