Alejandro Stein is an architect and creative director who specializes in the field of museology. Through his practice in exhibition design, he is interested in creating holistic experiences structured by the integration of art objects and design elements within an architectural space.  This integral and research-driven approach challenges established forms and notions of museological environments through a constant recontextualization of the art object.

Alejandro is a founding partner of world, an architecture and graphic design studio focusing on exhibitions and publications. From 2021 to 2025,  Alejandro was Director of Exhibition Design at the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco. From 2017 to 2020 he worked as Senior Exhibition Designer for The Metropolitan Museum of Art, where he designed several exhibitions and contributed to the redesign of the Michael C. Rockefeller Wing.

Alejandro holds a Master of Architecture from Columbia University, where he has taught courses on architectural design and representation. Upon graduating, he was awarded a Lucille Smyser Lowenfish Memorial Prize and an ARPA Fellowship to conduct a self-directed research project.

Alejandro was born in Caracas and is currently based between New York City and San Francisco.
