Gabriel Cuéllar

Gabriel Cuéllar co-directs Cadaster with Athar Mufreh and is an Assistant Professor of Architecture at the University of Michigan. His practice develops design frameworks in collaboration with local governments and community-based organizations, advancing systemic spatial transformation through collective land stewardship models and restructured property systems. His writing, exhibitions, design projects, and teaching explore how spatial creativity can support social movements, particularly in relation to land, housing, and urban and environmental matters. Prior to establishing Cadaster—recipient of the Architectural League Prize in 2018—Cuéllar worked as a designer with Philippe Rahm architectes, Studio Anne Holtrop, and Gramazio & Kohler. He is currently a doctoral researcher in the Borders & Territories research group at Delft University of Technology.
