Architecture Speaks -lecture series: Max Núñez

Max Núñez graduated as an architect from Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile in 2004. In 2010, he earned his MA from Columbia University in New York. Since then, he has led Max Núñez Arquitectos.

His practice recognized with the Design Vanguard Award from Architectural Record (2017), the Design Award from Wallpaper Magazine several times and the Building of the Year Award from ArchDaily in 2023. He has won several public competitions, including the Atacama Regional Museum in Copiapó and the Library, Archive, and Regional Repository of Los Ríos in Valdivia. His projects have been featured internationally and are the subject of two monographic books.

From 2016 to 2020, he was Head of the Master’s Program in Architecture at Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile, where he continues to teach.

“The reason why I wanted to invite Chilean architect Max Núñez to this series is his skillful use of structures. They are often lifted up and only slightly touch the ground. Núñez strives to engage with and respond to the unique potential that lies within the local conditions of a place.” – Jenni Reuter
