Manuel Bouzas is a Spanish architect, curator, and educator based in Upstate New York and Galicia. His work examines the environmental externalities of construction by looking at the materials we build with and the landscapes from which they are sourced. In 2025, he received the Princess of Girona Arts Award from the Royal Family of Spain, and was co-curator of Internalities, the Spanish Pavilion at the 19th Venice Architecture Biennale. He serves as a Visiting Critic at Cornell AAP and is co-editor of Obradoiro, the journal of the Official College of Architects of Galicia (COAG).
With his practice, MB—AE, has completed multiple works in southern Europe, including 350.000 Ha (Madrid, 2026), Atlas (Braga, 2025), Cabane 7L (Rome, 2024), and Mediterráneo (Valencia, 2023), with the support of the Spanish Government, Villa Medici, Arquia Foundation, Chanel, and ARCO. Manuel holds an M.Arch from ETSAM Universidad Politécnica de Madrid, and a Master's in Design Studies from Harvard GSD.
His work has earned international recognition, from his inclusion in the AD100 2026 list by Architectural Digest Spain to distinctions such as the Renzo Piano World Tour Award (2022), the La Caixa Fellowship (2021), and the COAM Award (2020).
