I am a Madrid-based chartered architect and Lecturer at the Manchester School of Architecture, where I co-lead the Some Kind of Nature (SKN) atelier and lead its BA3 cohort. I trained as an architect at San Pablo CEU University Madrid (2015) and completed a PhD at the University of Liverpool, based at Xi’an Jiaotong-Liverpool University China (2024). Prior to my doctoral research, I co-founded Chubby Lab, a design studio working at the intersection of culture, technology, and cross-disciplinary research, and collaborated with international architectural practices including Izaskun Chinchilla Architects.

My research explores how architecture engages with — and appropriates — theory across disciplines, including biology, the social sciences, and philosophy. Drawing on systems thinking and second-order cybernetics, I examine processes of theory appropriation, modes of language use, and the conditions under which ideas from outside architecture may (or may not) meaningfully inform design research and practice.

This transdisciplinary approach also informs my teaching, particularly through posthumanist thinking. In response to the climate and biodiversity crises, my teaching seeks to decentre the human and foreground relationships between human and other-than-human actors in design — an approach central to the SKN atelier. I teach across BA2 and BA3 and previously led Thinking Through Drawing in BA1 at the Manchester School of Architecture.
