Starting on May 15, every Friday will be “Factory Friday”: an educational project designed to strengthen the ties between school and society. Michel Rojkind, along with another 11 prominent Latin American architects will be sharing their practice through a digital dialogue.
Michel Rojkind presented two projects: Foro Boca and Ummara. He also reminded us about the importance of not building and designing through fear.
50% of the raised funds will be destined to #iniciativasocial , a project that seeks to bring food to people in a greater degree of vulnerability.
Michel Rojkind along with other top jurors were part of the Final Review: “Investigating global migration in general terms and in particularat Mexico´s Southern border.”
We appreciate this great opportunity!

The IWA House (Amanali) was completed in 2013 and finished in 2017, to draw the site´s climate. The functions are separated into five blocks, described by the firm as “boulders” that are connected by walkways, steps and bridges outside. Dark porous stone sourced locally covers the bodies of the five volumes, which have dramatic shapes composed of irregular floor plans and sloped tops.
