Pablo Meninato, Ph.D., is an architect, architectural critic, and educator. A native of Argentina, Meninato has taught and practiced architecture in Philadelphia, Buenos Aires, and Monterrey, Mexico. Before joining Temple University as Associate Professor, Meninato taught at various academic institutions, including the University of Pennsylvania, the Universidad de Monterrey, and Universidad de Belgrano at Buenos Aires. Meninato’s essays have been published in various magazines, journals, and books. He is the author of Unexpected Affinities (Routledge, 2018), a book that proposes a historical reassessment of the concept of architectural “type” and its impact on the design process. Meninato has embarked on a multi-year research and publishing project examining how various contemporary architects are developing new and original interventions in informal settlements across Latin America. The first outcome of this project is the co-edited book Informality and the City—Theories, Actions, Interventions (Springer Rotterdam, expected Spring 2022), a multidisciplinary overview of informality in the Global South.
