Manuel Bouzas is a Spanish architect based in Galicia and Upstate New York. His practice operates at the intersection of architecture, ecology, and material culture, spanning design, teaching, curation, and publishing. In 2025, he received the Princess of Girona Arts Prize from the Royal Family of Spain and co-curated Internalities, the Spanish Pavilion at the 19th Venice Architecture Biennale.
Manuel is Visiting Critic at Cornell University College of Architecture, Art, and Planning and is co-editor of Obradoiro, the journal of the Galician Institute of Architects. He holds an MArch with distinction from ETSAM (UPM) and a Master in Design Studies from the Harvard Graduate School of Design.
His work addresses the environmental externalities of architectural production, focusing on the materials we build with and the landscapes from which they emerge. He has completed several urban installations, including Atlas (Braga, 2025), Cabane 7L (Rome, 2024), and Mediterráneo (Valencia, 2023), with the support of institutions such as the Spanish Government, Villa Medici, Arquia Foundation, and CHANEL.
His projects have earned international recognition, including the ROOM Future Prize (2025), the Renzo Piano World Tour Award (2022), the La Caixa Fellowship (2021), and the COAM Award (2020). His work has been exhibited at the Biennale d’Architecture et de Paysage (2025), the Spanish Pavilion at the Venice Architecture Biennale (Foodscapes, 2023; Becoming, 2018), and the XV BEAU (2021).
