Alejandra Navarrete Llopis

Alejandra Navarrete Llopis is an architectural designer, researcher, and educator based in Stockholm where she is currently a PhD candidate in Architectural History, Theory and Critical Studies at the School of Architecture, KTH. Her investigation Swedish Environmentalisms focuses on how alternative architectural responses to environmental concerns have been institutionalized by Swedish municipalities, companies, and research councils from the 1970s to the late 1990s. Her work has been granted by the VR-Swedish Research Council, the New York State Council on the Arts, and the Graham Foundation. Together with the After Belonging Agency, she was Chief Curator of the Oslo Architecture Triennale 2016 which explored how architecture intervenes in the construction of new identities for a globalized and displaced population. Navarrete Llopis is co-editor of the book After Belonging: The Objects, Spaces and Territories of the Ways We Stay in Transit (Zurich, 2016) which has received the FAD Thought and Criticism Award. She has also extensive experience in teaching seminars and design studios at KTH, Columbia University GSAPP, Pratt Institute, and ETSAM Universidad Politécnica de Madrid, among other academic institutions.
