Tiago Campos
Tiago Torres-Campos, PhD, is a Portuguese landscape architect whose work explores multidisciplinary approaches to contemporary landscapes, cities and wider complex territories. His interests focus on intersections between landscape practice and the Anthropocene as well as issues of landscape representation. He co-edited Postcards from the Anthropocene (2022), which explores some of these topics.
Torres-Campos’ experimental and speculative work ranges from modeling and digital fabrication to video production and speculative writing. He holds a PhD in Architecture by Design from the University of Edinburgh, College of Art, where he investigated ways of thinking geologically about Manhattan. He is preparing a new publication on the topic.
As a practitioner, Torres-Campos has gained experience in landscape architectural design, regional and master planning in both urban and rural landscapes. He was responsible for delivering award-winning proposals in international competitions and also for managing the research and international communication teams. He has published internationally, and he is the founder of CNTXT Studio, a research-by-design platform focusing on the transdisciplinary study of landscape.
Torres-Campos joined the RISD faculty in 2019. Previously, he taught at the University of Edinburgh, Scotland and the University of Lisbon, Portugal.
