Marcos Cruz is an Architect and Professor of Innovative Environments at the Bartlett School of Architecture, University College London. He is the Co-Director of the MArch / MSc in Bio-Integrated Design (Bio-ID) which he created with Dr Brenda Parker as a cross-disciplinary research and teaching platform between architecture and biochemical engineering to develop new design solutions for the future built environment. Bio-ID work is driven by advances in biotechnology and computation to explore bioreceptive and engineered living materials, food-waste, poikilohydric living walls, bioremediation and biomineralization processes, all of which has been widely disseminated in articles and exhibitions, including the Centre Pompidou; the Copper Hewitt Triennial at the Smithsonian Design Museum; the Philadelphia Museum of Art; the Arup gallery, Design Museum and London Design Festival; and the Norman Foster Foundation Madrid. Beside a newly patented material, the INDUS project was awarded the first prize at the water design futures competition in New York. 

Cruz was the Director of the Bartlett between January 2010 and January 2014, having been responsible for a major transformation of the school in terms of its current internationalization and uncontested reputation as the number one school in the UK. His varied teaching activity as an investigator, tutor and critic has been carried out in numerous international universities, including the Institute of Advanced Architecture of Catalonia where he runs the C-Biom.A group, University of Westminster and University California Los Angeles (UCLA), but most of all at University College London where he ran MArch Unit 20 for 19 years. In collaboration with Marjan Colletti this unit was one of the most emblematic and forward-thinking at the Bartlett, with great emphasis on the application of novel digital technologies and environmentally-sensitive solutions to building design. Cruz is also regularly invited as an advisor to academic institutions as well as a jury member of International competitions.
 
Cruz studied at the Escola Superior Artística do Porto (ESAP) from where he graduated in 1997, while frequenting courses at the Escuela Técnica Superior de Arquitectura de Barcelona (ETSAB/UPC) where he was an exchange student in 2003-04 and 2005-06. After moving to London he gained a master’s degree with distinction in Architectural Design at the Bartlett in 1999 and started a PhD by Design research sponsored by the Portuguese Foundation for Science and Technology (FCT), which he finished in 2007. His investigations about Neoplasmatic Architecture won the international RIBA President’s Research Award for Outstanding PhD Thesis in 2008.
 
In 2000 he was part of the design team with Peter Cook and Colin Fournier for the Kunsthaus Graz competition (first prize). In the same year Cruz also co-founded the atelier mam/marcosandmarjan, whose work has been extensively exhibited, including the Venice and Sao Paulo Biennales, along with two major solo exhibitions in Hamburg and Braunschweig. marcosandmarjan also designed the 75th Lisbon Book Fair, several winning competitions and, most recently, an experimental pavilion commissioned by the London GLA on the occasion of the London Olympics. Their Algae-Cellunoi wall installation was integrated in permanent collection of the FRAC in Orleans. They were also featured in major international publications, including Digital Architecture Now (Thames and Hudson 2008), Chernikov Prize (ICIF / Tatlin 2011), Futuristic – Visions of Future Living (DAAB Media 2011) and Archilab – Naturalising Architecture (FRAC 2013).
 
Cruz is the author of Sobre El Cuerpo Habitable de la Arquitectura (FARQ 2014); The Inhabitable Flesh of Architecture (Ashgate, 2013); and  marcosandmarjan – Interfaces/Intrafaces (SpringerWienNewYork, 2005). He is also editor of AD – Neoplasmatic Design (John Wiley & Sons, 2008); PhD Research Projects 2009 (Bartlett UCL, 2009); Flesh and Vision (Forum da Maia, 2000); Unit 20 (University of Valencia/ACTAR, 2002); and three annual Bartlett Books (Bartlett UCL, 2012/2013). His work was also published in the monograph Unpredictable Flesh (Mimesis, 2004).
