SPAN
and AKI
Matias del Campo is an architect, theorist, and educator based in Vienna, working at the intersection of artificial intelligence, architecture, and cultural production. Through four books, five guest-edited journals, and a sustained body of theoretical essays, he has shaped the conceptual vocabulary through which AI entered serious architectural discourse, framing it as a cultural technique rather than a tool. With Sandra Manninger he directs SPAN, whose work is held in six permanent collections. As founder of AKI GmbH (Vienna, 2026), he develops applied AI models for architecture, construction, and cultural production, advancing data sovereignty and democratic agency in the built environment.
