Nuno Grancho

University of Copenhagen, Denmark

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 modernity of South Asia. He is particularly interested in how architecture and urbanism are conceived as a medium and how this conception legitimises architecture and urbanism as social and cultural practices.
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 Researcher at ISCTE-University Institute of Lisbon.
Since 2021, he has been an Invited Professor and a Visiting Researcher at the Royal Danish Academy, School of Architecture, Design and Conservation, Copenhagen.
Since 2021, he has been a Postdoctoral researcher and Marie Skłodowska-Curie fellow at the Centre for Privacy Studies, University of Copenhagen. Grancho’s research project is entitled “Privacy on the move: two-way Processes, Data and Legacy of Danish metropolitan and colonial Architecture and Urbanism” and is funded by the European Research Council under the European Union’s Horizon 2020.
