Mónica Suberville transforms architectural practice into an exercise in resistance and collective action, challenging the profession’s traditional structures.
From starting as an intern to becoming the Interior Design Director at Legorreta, Michelle Garmendia—an architect with an MBA who also founded UNAM's first interior design diploma—has spent nearly 20 years reshaping the industry. Her career stands as a masterclass in combining technical rigor with sharp intuition, transforming meticulous spatial sensitivity into a powerful tool for executive leadership, entrepreneurship, and construction site authority.
How can design heal a fractured landscape? For architect and urban designer Loreta Castro Reguera, co-founder of Taller Capital, the answer lies beneath the asphalt. By transforming water infrastructure into public spaces, her practice shifts the architectural narrative toward a manifesto of social design and true urban resilience.
What happens before tracing the first line on a blueprint, prior to the render, or even before meeting the client? For architect and interior designer Cristina Grappin, everything begins in a different place: in the silent observation of how we live.
In an industry that has long favored rigid specializations, Claudina Flores has built a career that challenges traditional categories. Architect, designer, and interior designer by conviction, her path has been shaped by exploration, resilience, and a deep sensitivity toward the impact of design.
For Beatriz Peschard, architecture is not only designed; it is lived. Her work with Bernardi+Peschard Arquitectura reveals a practice shaped by empathy, trust and timeless atmospheres.
Identity, narrative, and emotion define Bibiana Huber’s approach to design, whose creative work reveals the invisible qualities within materials. By shaping spaces, she crafts experiences where every piece holds a story meant to be felt before it is understood.
For Penélope de la Madrid, design begins before the first material decision. Through Ábaka Interiores, she creates spaces that listen, respond and become part of everyday life.
From their initial university collaborations, Melissa Falcón and Saraí Noguez discovered a rare creative affinity. In 2010, along with Raymundo Botello, they founded AmoATO Studio, transforming paper—a material often perceived as fragile—into a powerful medium for complex, high-end visual narratives.
Giving in is easy; the real challenge in architecture is sustaining an idea when everything pushes in the opposite direction: the client, the budget, the deadlines, and the noise. Architectural practice doesn't break from a lack of talent, but from an excess of concessions.
