Marcel Sánchez Prieto

Marcel Sánchez Prieto is an architect and educator whose work bridges architectural design, urban theory, and social practice. He is Principal of CRO Studio and founder of the Transborder Association of Architectural Education (TAAE), a network that connects academic and civic institutions across the U.S.-Mexico border. His design-research spans self-built housing and civic infrastructure, with a focus on spatial justice and the role of architecture in contested geographies.

At Bogliasco, Marcel will expand Transborder Ecologies, a research project and editorial series investigating architectural typologies shaped by migration, displacement, and transborder economies along the U.S.–Mexico border. Through design analysis, visual studies, and editorial development, he will explore how these dynamics generate new spatial conditions, contributing to frameworks for transregional urbanism.
