Carlos Mínguez Carrasco is an architect and curator based in Stockholm, where he serves as chief curator at ArkDes—the Swedish National Centre for Architecture and Design. He leads the museum’s content, including exhibitions, public programs, research, and collections. Previously, he was associate curator at Storefront for Art and Architecture in New York, and co-curated the 2016 Oslo Architecture Triennale with the After Belonging Agency.

He played a central role in the ArkDes 2024 reorganization, redefining its overall program, collections display, research direction, and acquisitions program. Carlos is the editor of several publications, including After Belonging (2016), OfficeUS Manual (2017), Bodybuilding: Architecture and Performance (2019), and Kiruna Forever (2020).
“Today, I find it essential to engage in dialogue with thinkers, practitioners, and researchers who unapologetically believe architecture and design can build a just, respectful, and sustainable future. Sometimes they call out injustices. Sometimes they find agency where none existed. Sometimes their voice transcends. Being part of this dialogue humbles and inspires me, shaping my curatorial work at ArkDes and in the public sector.”
