Bea Martin is a Portuguese born, British architect, writer and artist, and a Senior Lecturer in Architecture at the Manchester School of Architecture where she is also the Inscriptive Practices and Future Processes Lead.

Bea received her academic qualifications from the University of California at Berkely and University of Lisbon, and she is currently pursuing a PhD in Architecture by Design at the Bartlett School of Architecture.

As a practitioner, her technical and design experience in office, spans over fifteen years, working for a variety of architectural practices in London, such as Richard Rogers and Partners. She is also the founder of Speculative Assemblies, an experimental design lab exploring the visual construct in architecture. In her role as a visual theorist, the focus is on a conceptual investigation, digital and analogue, of the apparatus of drawing, the challenging boundary of drawing as a work of art, research that is both architectural and artistic but never an end in itself. Her work questions and reiterates the mission of drawing through continuous research, intense interrogation, and devotion to craft.
