I am a Madrid-based chartered architect and Lecturer at the Manchester School of Architecture, where I lead the BA3 cohort within the atelier Some Kind of Nature. 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, with a particular focus on the appropriation of the biological theory of autopoiesis in architecture. More broadly, my work examines systems thinking, theory appropriation, language use, and the conditions under which ideas from outside architecture may (or may not) meaningfully inform design research and practice.

My teaching is informed by posthumanist thinking and responds to the climate and biodiversity crises by decentring the human and foregrounding relationships between human and other-than-human actors in design — an approach central to the Some Kind of Nature atelier. I teach across BA2 and BA3 and previously led Thinking Through Drawing in BA1 at the Manchester School of Architecture.
