Nuno Grancho is an architect, an urban planner and an architectural historian and theorist who works at the intersection of architecture, urbanism, material culture and colonial practices and its relationship with the transatlantic world and (post)colonial Asia from the early 16th century up to the present days. His research examines how architectures and cities of struggle have shaped the modernity of South Asia. His research projects are focused on questions of human and material agency, the epistemology and geopolitics of architecture and urbanism as a technique of social intervention. Of particular importance to his work are the spatial-morphological arrangements in architecture and cities that identify and enable the private as withdrawal from the world and the public as engagement with that same world and simultaneously, the tension between these dichotomies. He has held a PhD in Architecture and Urbanism at the University of Coimbra since 2017. In 2014, he was a Visiting Researcher at the School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS), University of London. Since 2017, he has been a Postdoctoral researcher at DINÂMIA’CET-Iscte, University Institute of Lisbon, Lisbon, Portugal. From 2021 until 2024, he was a Postdoctoral researcher and a Marie Sklodowska-Curie fellow with the research project “Privacy on the move: two-way Processes, Data and Legacy of Danish metropolitan and colonial Architecture and Urbanism” at the Centre for Privacy Studies, University of Copenhagen, Copenhagen, Denmark. From 2021 until 2024, he has been a Visiting Researcher at the Royal Danish Academy – School of Architecture, Design and Conservation, Copenhagen, Denmark. From 2021 until 2024, he taught at the Royal Danish Academy – School of Architecture, Design and Conservation, Copenhagen, Denmark. In August 2024, he was a Visiting Researcher at the Department of Architecture, College of Humanities and Fine Arts, University of Massachusetts – Amherst, USA. Since August 2024, he has been an Affiliated Member of the Indian Ocean World Centre (IOWC) at McGill University, Montreal, Canada. Since September 2024, he has been an Affiliated Scholar of the Centre for Privacy Studies, University of Copenhagen, Copenhagen, Denmark.
