Miguel is the Founder and CEO of D A COOP (Design As COOPeration), with over 15 years of research and design experience spanning architecture, landscape architecture, urban design, and planning.

His new book, Architectural Autonomy and the Urban Condition (Routledge, 2026), grew out of his doctoral research at Harvard University Graduate School of Design. It reframes architectural autonomy as a cultural question, exploring its urban dimensions through philosophical, artistic, political, and architectural histories.

We’re excited to welcome Miguel back to the LSU School of Architecture, where he served as a visiting instructor during the 2023–24 academic year!

A room full of ideas, lively debates, hopeful conversations and a little creative mischief!
Last week we celebrated the launch of Pedagogy as Creative Practice in Architecture: Inspiration and Resistance During Change, a book I co-edited with Christopher Little, published by Routledge.
It was wonderful to bring together contributors, colleagues and friends to reflect on the future of architectural education. A huge thank you to our fantastic panellists, Professor Malcolm Miles, Anna Gidman and Sam Holden, and to everyone who joined us!
We talked about the tensions shaping architectural education, the importance of cultivating grey areas where creativity thrives, and the need to remain hopeful while recognising the challenges ahead. There was also real enthusiasm for collaboration across schools, with Manchester as a potential meeting place for future exchanges.
And, of course, we made badges, thanks to the brilliant Emily Crompton @emilyonabike . Because a little punk spirit and creative disobedience might be exactly what architectural education needs!

“Paint the murals by eye instead of relying on grids.”

— Courtney Windham and Margaret Fletcher, Discovering the Design Process: Into the Beautiful Mess (2026, p. 153)

On a 14-hour journey from Detroit to Seoul last week, I brought Courtney and Margaret’s Discovering the Design Process (published by Routledge). This beautiful book brings together the stories and reflections of 12 designers and artists from diverse fields and invites me to consider a question: What is the purpose of design? (p. 34).

One key takeaway was the importance of embracing self-doubt (p. 21) while learning to trust my intuition. As the authors write, “Designers can learn to trust their inner voice in the design process, especially when other sources of direction are unclear” (p. 193). Introspection can become a tool for innovation (p. 234). Although it is essential to practice and refine our craft, we can also trust the “creative hunches” before we figure it out (p. 256).

Developing intuition requires experience, openness, and a willingness to embrace the ambiguity (p. 33). Sometimes, it means learning to “paint the murals by eye instead of relying on grids” (p. 153). Intuition also requires a deeper connection with ourselves—one that can humanize design in ways that research alone cannot. Designers embed a piece of themselves in their work (p. 35), reminding me that design is like a dialogue (p. 34) and that creative potential can transcend disciplinary boundaries and complex challenges (p. 78).

Giving and receiving constructive feedback are equally important. Designers do not need to wait for formal critiques from experts or mentors. They can observe real-world reactions, learn through experience, and use those responses as guidance (p. 257).

Real-world limitations influence what and how we design it (p. 79). Although constraints inevitably shape a designer’s practice and process (p. 26), they can also fuel creativity (p. 153). The creative process therefore requires a balance between planning and openness to unexpected surprises (p. 278).
