Manuel Bouzas

Architecture & Ecologies
Manuel Bouzas is a Spanish architect based in Galicia and New York. His work spans the fields of practice, education, curation, research, and publishing. He teaches at Cornell AAP and is the curator of Internalities, the Spanish Pavilion at the Venice Architecture Biennale 2025. Manuel is co-editor of Obradoiro, the Galician Institute of Architects’ journal. He holds an MArch with distinction from ETSAM (UPM) and an MDes from Harvard GSD, where he also served as a Teaching Fellow.

His work explores the intersection of architecture and ecology. Through installations, exhibitions, and publications, he examines the relationships between the materials we build with and the landscapes they originate from. Recent projects include Cabane 7L (Rome, 2024) and Mediterráneo (Valencia, 2023), supported by institutions such as the Spanish Government, Villa Medici – French Academy in Rome, the Arquia Foundation, and CHANEL.

Manuel has been recognized with multiple honors, including the Princess of Girona Art Prize 2025, awarded by the Royal family of Spain, the Renzo Piano World Tour Award 2022, the La Caixa Fellowship 2021, and the COAM Emerging Award 2020. He has contributed to the Spanish Pavilion at the Venice Biennale in 2023 (Foodscapes) and 2018 (Becoming), as well as the XV BEAU in 2021.
