DAVID LÓPEZ
ESPIRALL is directed by David López, a creative and technical director with over 25 years of experience in water architecture and engineered special effects.
His work sits at the intersection of concept development and engineered execution.
He combines narrative thinking with deep technical knowledge, ensuring that ambitious ideas remain buildable, operable and reliable.
David works selectively, typically engaging in a limited number of projects each year where his involvement can meaningfully influence both concept and outcome.
EXPERIENCE
With more than 25 years in water architecture and hydraulic systems, David has designed and directed complex water features, large-scale shows and integrated special effects across international projects.
In 2003 he founded EDL Creative Water, where he served as technical and creative director for over a decade, leading concept development and engineering definition for projects nationally and internationally.
The company’s business unit was sold in 2017, after which he stepped away from operational management to focus exclusively on concept, technical direction and high-level problem-solving.
His expertise includes:
- Water show concept design
- Hydraulic system architecture
- Practical special effects integration (water-based explosions, smoke curtains, fire systems)
- Technical definition and documentation
- On-site commissioning and troubleshooting
- Performance optimisation and long-term reliability
Today, through ESPIRALL, he collaborates with architects, developers, operators and contractors on projects that demand both creative clarity and technical precision.
