Luz Paz Agras

Luz Paz Agras is an Assistant Professor in the School of Architecture at the University of A Coruña, Spain, teaching architectural theory while maintaining an active practice in exhibition curation and architectural design since 2004. Her academic foundation was built at the University of A Coruña where she earned her architecture degree, later complemented by a master's in contemporary art from the University of Santiago de Compostela and a 2013 PhD on historical exhibition spaces.

Her educational trajectory includes:

• Architecture degree, University of A Coruña
• Master's in Contemporary Art, University of Santiago de Compostela
• PhD in Architecture (2013), University of A Coruña

Dr. Agras's research centers on the symbiotic relationship between architecture and contemporary art, particularly examining early 20th-century exhibition spaces (1923-1942). Her scholarly work extends to curatorial practice where architectural theory manifests in physical installations, exploring how spatial design mediates artistic experience. This interdisciplinary approach bridges historical analysis with contemporary design applications.

Her professional excellence has been recognized through:

• Back-to-back Awards from the Architects Association of Galicia (XIV and XV editions)
• Selection for Arquia/Proxima 2012 in Barcelona
• Shortlisting for the Royal Academy's Summer Exhibition 2014 in London

A dedicated academic contributor, she has served on the editorial board of DARDOmagazine: Art+Design+Architecture since 2010 and currently co-edits the Scopus-indexed Boletín Académico. Her postdoctoral research at UCL's Bartlett School of Architecture, funded by Fundación Barrié, further solidified her transnational scholarly profile while advancing her investigation into art-architecture dialogues.
