Jaque began teaching at the university in 2013 and has led the Advanced Architectural Design Program since 2018.
Born in Madrid, Jaque received both his PhD and masters in architecture from Escuela Técnica Superior de Arquitectura de Madrid.

Jaque is known for a portfolio that includes socially-engaged installations and performance pieces such as IKEA Disobedients, which was launched in Madrid in 2011 to help prevent eviction, and then exhibited at the Museum of Modern Art in New York in 2012. His Rambla Climate House in Molina de Segura, Murcia, Spain, designed by his firm with Miguel Mesa del Castillo Clavel, was featured as RECORD’s House of the Month.
