Nayeli Galindo is an urbanist working across scales at the intersection of architecture, urbanism, tech and visual studies. She is founder of NUPA Studio in Amsterdam and is currently leading projects for the top-tier platform for indoor spatial data management.
She graduated from the Architectural Association’s MArch course in London, where she specialized in Housing & Urbanism. Prior to that, she awarded a Diploma (BA) in Architecture from the Universidad Iberoamericana in Mexico City in 2010.
She has a particular interest in urban renewal and housing, therefore historical context and legacy are fundamental in her approach.
