PhD Architect (IOUD, Austria) and PhD Philosopher cand. (EGS, Switzerland), his areas of research
include 21st century’s theory of experimental architecture, art and technology, as well as various
forms of Speculative Realism and New Materialism. His current field of investigation orbits around
the notion of “limit” together with associated terms such as “finitude”, “determination” and
“reduction”, both in its philosophical and architectural registers. Jordi’s philosophical work focuses on
contextualizing the notion of “Limit” within the framework of the New Realisms, conceiving the
notion of limit as limitation, liminality and limitrophy in pursuit of “sibylline” forms of objectivity.
From an architectural perspective, Jordi’s research focuses on instrumentalizing the limit as a spatial
device of differential sameness and auto-referential difference in order to reconsider the notion of
hospitality with respect to the Anthropocene.
Jordi is currently working as theory faculty and researcher in several international universities such as
IaaC in Barcelona, UCL Bartlett in London, IOUD in Innsbruck and TU-Wien in Vienna. Besides his
curatorial tasks as editor in chief of the architectural magazine IaaC Bits, his work has crystallized in
several articles, essays and lectures. Jordi is the co-author of the book The Threefold Logic of
Advanced Architecture (Barcelona: Actar Publishers, 2020) and the author of the forthcoming book
Limit-Space: Agency and Form in a Xenological World (Actar Publishers, 2023).
