Tatiana Bilbao Estudio - Platforms for Life (A+U 641)

Forthcoming title, first half of 2024 The Mexican firm Tatiana Bilbao Estudio takes centre stage in this issue, with projects that are representative of values developed over nearly two decades of practice. The studio prioritises the communities for whom it builds while also seeking to understand the socio-environmental frameworks. Evident from the studio’s portfolio is a playful approach to scale, geometry, and materiality. Projects range from large-scale master planning and building design to residences and precise interventions that serve an existing community, such as reconstruction following a disaster. Further, a selection of key exhibitions captures the breadth of the studio’s research into private and public space.
