Matias del Campo is a registered architect, designer, and Associate Professor of Architecture at the A Alfred Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning at the University of Michigan. His obsessive explorations of contemporary moods are fueled by the opulent repertoire of materialization in nature together with cutting-edge technologies, as well as form, as a driving force in design at large. In 2003 he co-founded the architectural practice SPAN in Vienna, together with Sandra Manninger. The practice is best known for its speculative projects dealing with the
sophisticated application of contemporary schools of thought in architectural production. Its award-winning projects are particularly informed by Baroque geometries, Romantic sensibilities and continental philosophy, and interrogate the possible contributions of these sensorial and spatial conditions, in combination with the manifold qualities of algorithm-driven methodologies, to the discipline of architecture. SPAN gained wide recognition for its winning competition entry for the Austrian Pavilion at the 2010 Shanghai World Expo, as well as for the new Brancusi Museum in Paris in
2008. The practice’s work was featured at the 2012 Venice Architecture Biennale, at ArchiLab 2013 at the FRAC Centre, Orléans, France, at the 2008 and 2010 Architecture Biennale in Beijing, and in the 2011 solo show ‘Formations’ at the Museum of Applied Arts (MAK) in Vienna. It is also in the permanent collections of FRAC, MAK, the Albertina museum in Vienna and the Pinakothek der Moderne in Munich. In 2013, SPAN expanded its operations to Shanghai, where the practice is
currently working on building projects of varying scales. Design and research awards include the Young-Talent Award for Experimental Tendencies in Architecture (from the Federal Chancellery of Austria), the Rudolph Schindler Scholarship (granted by the Bundesministerium für Unterricht, Kunst und Kultur (BMUKK) and MAK) ...
