Nathan Quianoo

Nathan Quainoo is an architectural designer, researcher, educator and co-founder of the design and research collective, MISC.

His work centres around forms of representation and political agency within the context of post-imperial Britain. Through readings of architectural, archival and textual material; his practice aims to question the value and role of the act of groups creating spaces for themselves in dialogue or opposition with the ‘established’ institution. While also attempting to ask broader questions related to simultaneously powerful and unsteady projections of British influence around the globe. 

Nathan has worked in architectural practices of varying scales engaging in projects ranging from scenography and museographic design to master planning. He is also a teaching assistant, delivers workshops and has acted in the role of a guest critic at various educational institutions across the UK.
