Eduardo Castillo-Vinuesa is an anti-disciplinary architect, curator, researcher, and educator operating at the intersection of academia and the cultural sector. His work takes a cross-disciplinary approach, integrating architecture, institutional design, filmmaking, and alternative curatorial practices to explore issues related to climate, governance, geoengineering, and the critical socio-technological infrastructures shaping our time.

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), has been artistic director of Medialab Matadero—Madrid’s City Council experimental platform for collaborative research and creation (2021-2024)—, and curated the Spanish Pavilion at the 2023 Venice Architecture Biennale with the project Foodscapes, a long-term research initiative examining the systemic, ecological, and political implications of planetary food systems and the architectures and territories that sustain them.

He is currently the director of TBA21-Academy, the research and infrastructural activism arm of the Thyssen-Bornemisza Art Contemporary.
