Matias del Campo is a Chilean born Austrian architect, designer and educator, co-founder of the architectural practice SPAN.

His ideology is a reflexion of the explorations he manifests towards contemporary tendencies, representing an alloy between “materialization protocols in nature, cutting-edge technologies and philosophical inquiry which together form a comprehensive design ecology”.

[3] SPAN started gaining international recognition in 2010, when the architects won the competition for the Austrian Pavilion within the Shanghai World Expo, as well as the newest Brancusi Museum in Paris, France.

He has also lectured at University of Pennsylvania, Penn Design Philadelphia, served as a guest professor at the Dessau Institute of Architecture, Germany.

This coagulation of numbers, algorithms, procedures and programs uses the forces of thriving nature and, passing through the calculation of a multi-core processor, knits them with human desire.”[13] Matias del Campo has been a guest editor for Next Generation Building, by TU Delft, in March 2016, and in November 2016 for the AD Magazine in London, UK.

In 2016, del Campo was Technical Chair of the ACADIA conference Material Frontiers 2 - Synthetic Biologies, curating and moderating the discussion.
