RICARDO DE OSTOS

Co-Director of NaJa & deOstos studio and co-author of The Hanging Cemetery of Baghdad

Ricardo de Ostos creates speculative fictions that envision architectural projects in shifting environmental and cultural contexts. He lives, works and teaches in London at both, the Architectural Association (AA) and The Bartlett School of Architecture. He is the Co-Director of NaJa & deOstos studio and co-author of The Hanging Cemetery of Baghdad (Springer Wien/New York, 2006) Ambiguous Spaces (Princeton Press, 2007) and Scavengers and Other Creatures in Promised Lands (AA, 2017).

Ricardo's interest - in both his practice, NaJa & deOstos (run alongside German architect Nannette Jackowski) and his architectural design units at the AA - lie in the intersection of fiction, arts, environment and technological experimentalism all with a deep focus on culture.
