Elena Rocabert develops a practice at the intersection of art and architecture, where material experimentation becomes a tool for imagining new networks of relation between bodies, matter and territory. In her work she explores cycles of transformation, renewal and decay, as well as the constant tension between destruction and creation, through sculpture and spatial interventions.
An architect trained at ETSAM and the Technische Universität Berlin, she was part of the curatorial team at Medialab Matadero Madrid from 2021 to 2024. She has participated in the Organismo programme developed by TBA21–Thyssen-Bornemisza Art Contemporary and the Museo de Altamira, and has exhibited at the Klima Biennale Wien, Funkhaus Vienna, Matadero Madrid, Teatros del Canal, Madrid Design Festival, Bienal Mayrit and the Sala de Arte Joven de la Comunidad de Madrid, among others.
Teaching plays an essential role in her practice. She is currently a professor at IED Madrid (Istituto Europeo di Design) and is regularly invited to serve as a juror and critic for student projects at the Escuela Técnica Superior de Arquitectura de Madrid and BAU, Centro Universitario de Artes y Diseño de Barcelona.
Her work has received several recognitions, including the AD Creators Award (2024), where she was selected as the winner of its inaugural edition, an Honourable Mention at the COAM Awards 2025 in the category of Ephemeral Architecture, finalist recognition at the Casa de la Arquitectura Awards 2026, and her selection for AD Best of Spain 2026.
