Cosmologies | #03 Talk - Víctor Muñoz Sanz
The Cosmologies series continues with its third event, “Platform Architectures: From Factory Floors to Random Stacks”, scheduled for Monday, 25 May 2026 at 11:00 am.
What spatial forms emerge when production and consumption are reorganised through platforms and automation? The lecture connects robotic factories and the afterlives of e-commerce to show how platform architectures restructure territories, redistribute labour, and generate new forms of spatial inequality and material excess.
The event will be moderated by Giorgia Greco from the Department of Architecture and Design-DAD, in dialogue with Alberto Valz Gris from the Interuniversity Department of Regional and Urban Studies and Planning-DIST and Giulio Gonella from the Department of Architecture and Design-DAD at Politecnico di Torino.
Biography
Víctor Muñoz Sanz is assistant professor of Urban Design at Delft University of Technology. His work develops critical research on the architecture and urbanism of work in the past, present, and future, examining how the design of productive landscapes intersects with technology and management practices.
He qualified as an architect at the Escuela Técnica Superior de Arquitectura de Madrid (ETSAM, 2006) and holds a Master of Architecture in Urban Design, with distinction, from the Harvard University Graduate School of Design (2011), as well as a PhD cum laude in Architecture from the Universidad Politécnica de Madrid (2016).
He is the author of Reconnecting Cities, People, and Nature (Birkhäuser, 2025) and Una Rápida Compañera (Bartlebooth, 2024), and co-editor of Automated Landscapes (Nieuwe Instituut, 2023), Roadside Picnics: Encounters with the Uncanny (dpr Barcelona, 2022), and Habitat: Ecology Thinking in Architecture (nai010, 2022).
He has been a fellow at the Akademie Schloss Solitude, coordinator of the Jaap Bakema Study Centre, and co-principal researcher of the Automated Landscapes project at Het Nieuwe Instituut, as well as Emerging Curator at the Canadian Centre for Architecture.
Víctor is also co-curator of the exhibition Convivium: Food Systems at the Limits at the Architekturmuseum der TUM in Munich (April–October 2026).
The talk will be held in English and will be available online at the following link.
