About Eduardo
Dr Eduardo Kairuz serves as Senior Lecturer in Architecture and Architecture HDR Coordinator at the Department of Architecture, Faculty of Art Design & Architecture, Monash University. He is also co-director of the Global Extraction Observatory (GEO), a research collective dedicated to examining extractivism, politics, and space. Over two decades, his interdisciplinary practice-based research has focused on the spatial, representational, and epistemic dimensions of socio-environmental violence. This work has gained international recognition through exhibitions at prestigious events such as the Venice Architecture Biennale (2022), the Seoul Biennale of Architecture and Urbanism (2023), and the Copenhagen Architecture Festival (2024). Notable solo exhibitions include Fossil Fables (2023), which earned a Gold Award in Architectural Installation Design at the 2024 Australian Good Design Awards; Variations (2012) at The Substation, Melbourne; and Dismantled (2014) at Centro Cultural Chacao, Caracas.
Kairuz earned his PhD in Architecture from RMIT University in 2020 with the thesis Undisciplined: Of Architectural Nomadism and the Rebellious Practice, forthcoming as a book with Anthem Press in 2025. He holds a Master of Fine Arts from the University of Sydney (2012) and a Bachelor of Architecture from Universidad Central de Venezuela (1998). His career includes previous appointments as Visiting Lecturer at the University of Technology Sydney (2009–2011) and Assistant Professor at Universidad Central de Venezuela (2003–2009). Before entering academia full-time, he practiced architecture in Venezuela, collaborating on award-winning social housing and public buildings, including the Communal House in Barrio La Vega and the Vertical Gym in Barrio La Cruz, Chacao. Key scholarly publications include articles in Architecture Research Quarterly (forthcoming 2025), IDEA Journal (2022), and AD (2010). Awards and honors include the MADA Education Award for Teaching Excellence (2018), DAAD Fellowship (2024), RIFS Senior Fellowship (2024), Dean's Award for Excellence in Architectural Design (1998), and First Prize in the Assistant Professorship Competition (2008). He currently leads the British Academy-funded project Lithium Unearthed: Navigating the Hopes and Hazards for a Green Future.
