Eduardo Castillo-Vinuesa is an anti-disciplinary architect, curator, researcher, and educator operating at the intersection of academia and the cultural sector. His work utilizes a cross-disciplinary approach, integrating architecture, institutional design, filmmaking, and alternative curatorial practices to explore the critical spatial forces shaping our time. He often creates institutional and para-institutional platforms to develop research-driven projects that couldn’t be realized otherwise under more normative forms of research or practice.

He is currently an Associate Professor at the Polytechnic University’s School of Architecture of Madrid (ETSAM-UPM) and a member of multiple academic and para-academic research groups such as ProLAB and the European network LINA. Previously, he served as the editorial director of Arquitectura COAM magazine (2017-2021), curated the Spanish Pavilion at the Venice Architecture Biennale (2023), and has been artistic director of Medialab Matadero, Madrid’s City Council experimental platform for collaborative research and creation (2021-2024).

Castillo’s core interests lie in the interplay between planetary urbanization and the terraforming processes geoengineering Earth. Ongoing projects include Skynomics, a framework to explore the promises and pitfalls of commodifying the sky under our current climate change regime, and Foodscapes, a long-term research initiative focusing on the systemic, ecological, and political implications of our planetary food systems and the architectures and territories underpinning their existence.
