caption: [SPAN / Architecture Biennale Beijing installation / 2008] Matias del Campo and collaborator Sandra Manninger are SPAN, a Vienna-based studio focused on the intersection of emerging technology and architectural design. Since 2003 SPAN has executed a number of research, teaching and installation projects and were recently awarded a significant competition victory.
