Manuel de Miguel Sánchez

Manuel de Miguel Sánchez is a Professor at the Department of Architecture at the University of Alcalá. His research focuses on architectural heritage conservation, historical construction techniques, and the application of digital tools like 3D modeling and printing for accessibility. He leads the research groups IMArq Imagen, Métrica y Arquitectura and SUSTAINABLEBUILTHERITAGE, exploring intersections between image, metrics, architecture, and sustainable heritage preservation.

He holds a PhD from the University of Alcalá with a thesis on Veinte años de bienales españolas de arquitectura y urbanismo: vanguardia y difusión de la arquitectura (2014), supervised by Dr. María Pilar Luisa Chías Navarro. His work spans architectural history, structural analysis of historical buildings (e.g., Roman vaults, Spanish wooden ceilings), and innovative educational methods integrating geometry and mathematics.

Recent publications highlight his focus on 3D technology for heritage democratization (e.g., tactile models for visually impaired individuals), geometric analysis of historical structures, and spatial planning in healthcare facilities. He emphasizes interdisciplinary approaches, linking architecture with mathematics, engineering, and social inclusion.

No scientific awards are explicitly mentioned in the provided texts. His advisory and grants activity remains unspecified. He collaborates on projects such as digital modeling of buildings like the Carmen Calzado edifice at his university and analyses of cultural landscapes in Spain, including wind energy impact studies on the Camino de Santiago.
