Lucas Reitz is an architect and urbanist (Santa Catarina State University – UDESC and Universidad de Sevilla, 2014), with a Master’s degree in Urbanism, History, and Architecture of the City (Federal University of Santa Catarina – UFSC, 2014) and a specialization in Public Art Curation at HDK-Valand, University of Gothenburg, Sweden (2024).

Developing a critical spatial practice from a queer perspective, Reitz works across visual cultures with a strong focus on photography, multimedia, and editorial projects. His trajectory bridges architecture, theory, and image-making, with experiences in Brazil, Belgium, and Canada, where he has been awarded, exhibited, and published for his work as an artist, curator, and researcher.

He is the founder and curator of muq, a transdisciplinary platform for archive building and curatorial experimentation, with activities and exhibitions in Brazil, Argentina, and the UK. His editorial practice spans exhibition making, critical writing, and architectural photography, with recent commissions and publications addressing the intersections of critical modernity, climate crisis, and queer theory in architecture. At muq, he recently wrote, edited, and designed Arquivo Conversa / Talking Archive (2025), a bilingual independent publication on queer architecture interviews.

Recent texts and papers include New Old and Old New (OASE, 2024), Earth, Matter (Failed Architecture, 2024), and La Sirenita Arquitecta (The Little Mermaid Architect) (UNTREF, 2025). In 2024 he joined the Cohort of Respondents of AFFIRMATIONS, a Columbia University program on contemporary architecture and climate emergency (New York, USA).

In 2025, Reitz was appointed Prize Manager of the Brazilian Institute of Architects – IAB/SC Awards, participated in the NA FOTO Residency (Brazil), where he investigated the visual, typological, and political effects of hoardings, and was a finalist in the national competition for the new brand design of the Architects and Urbanists Council (CAU/BR) — reinforcing his role at the intersection of architectural culture, editorial strategy, and public discourse.
