Nuno Grancho is an architect and historian investigating how spatial practices of power and resistance through architectures and cities of struggle shape the modernity and coloniality of South Asia from the early 16th century to today. His research focuses particularly on how spatial-morphological arrangements can define and enable the “private” as withdrawal from the world and the “public” as engagement with the world and, simultaneously, the tension between these dichotomies.
Nuno was a postdoctoral researcher and a Marie Skłodowska-Curie fellow at the research project Privacy on the move: two-way Processes, Data and Legacy of Danish metropolitan and colonial Architecture and Urbanism (INDIABRIDGE) at PRIVACY which began in 2021. Nuno is now affiliated with the Centre for Privacy Studies and the Royal Danish Academy – School of Architecture, Design and Conservation.
