Moving between modernism, sustainability, and the search for identity, their work reflects a vision that connects the local with the global. Meet the architects reshaping the future of Mexico’s architectural landscape.

Frida Escobedo

With a conceptual and innovative vision, Frida Escobedo has redefined how Mexican architecture is understood around the world. Time, light, and locally sourced materials intersect throughout her work, creating spaces that provoke dialogue rather than merely occupy it.

Under his leadership, the firm has developed major projects such as the Laberinto Museum of Science and Arts in San Luis Potosí, the National Center for the Arts in Mexico City, Four Seasons Tamarindo, the San Antonio Public Library, and the renovation of the Papalote Children’s Museum.

Through Sordo Madaleno Arquitectos, he has driven projects that redefine how people live and interact with their surroundings. With over 190 completed works, the studio has consolidated a vision that balances design, functionality, and elegance. Among its most recognized projects are Antara Polanco and Artz Pedregal, two landmarks of Mexico City’s contemporary urban fabric.
