ABOUT
Karla Montauti is an award-winning architect and artist based in London, working across architecture, urban design, contemporary art and spatial research. Her practice develops concept-led projects, cultural spaces, public realm strategies, residential work, mixed-use environments and international competitions.
Her work moves between architecture and art, constructing spatial narratives where form, territory, material systems, infrastructure, memory and collective life intersect. Through projects developed across Latin America, Europe and the Middle East, Montauti explores architecture as both a cultural instrument and a way of transforming the urban imagination.
Alongside her professional and artistic practice, she has built a strong academic trajectory in architecture and design studios, teaching design, morphology and analogue-digital processes at FADU UBA, Universidad Torcuato Di Tella, UNLaM and FAU-UCV.
Her work has received 18 awards and distinctions. In 2025, she was recognised as an Exceptional Talent in the United Kingdom, with endorsement by the Royal Institute of British Architects and Arts Council England.
