Cristina Parreño Alonso’s innovative architectural practice and research invite us to consider time beyond human perception, incorporating a geological lens to cultural and historical dimensions. Her projects, including The Deep Time Project, challenge traditional notions of temporality in design, offering a profound lens through which to view our relationship with the built and natural environments.
Cristina Parreño Alonso is an architect, designer, and educator at the School of Architecture and Planning at MIT, where she founded the Deep Time Project which advocates for a paradigm shift in architectural practices to align with the extensive timescales of planetary systems. She is the director of her eponymous architectural firm based in Cambridge and Madrid, granted the European Award 40 Under 40 and the Emerging Firms Award at the Design Biennial Boston. Her work has been exhibited in venues like Art Omi in NY, the Schusev State Museum of Architecture in Moscow, and La Biennale di Venezia 2021 and the forthcoming 2025. Her writings on architecture and the environment have been published in Log Magazine, The Journal of Architectural Education, Strelka Magazine, e-flux, ACSA Curriculum for Climate Agency, and Routledge.
