Marco Salazar Valle is a student in the PhD. in Architecture - History and Theory program at the Weitzman School of Design, which he joined in Fall 2024. He is interested in hitherto marginalized architectural praxis, objects, and discourses, mainly related to the political and technical logics of land subdivision in the Andean region, alongside histories of colonization and decolonization. Marco has taught architectural courses at several universities in Quito, Ecuador, while also developing projects ranging from private houses to communitarian infrastructure. He is co-founder of Fondo Documental de Arquitectura, a media preservation project at Universidad Central del Ecuador.
