Philosophy

  By addressing users' needs directly and seeing them as potential sources of

Propietario inspiration and strength, rojkind arquitectos seeks new directions in architectural
Michel Rojkind practice - evoking common identities through the exploration of uncharted
geometries that address questions of space, function, technology, materials,
Empleados structure, and construction methods related directly to geography, climate, and
8-15 local urban experiences. By pursuing all projects that represent a particular design
challenge, rojkind arquitectos has been able to develop a wide an ever-growing
Fundación
spectrum of designs initiatives, from the intimacies of small objects to the
2002
intricacies of large buildings and master plans. In recognition of his approach, Vitra
Especialización design museum along with the Art Center Pasadena will be exhibiting rojkind
Challenging Architecture arquitectos in Germany later this year, as part of Entry 2006 "Open House:
Intelligent Living by-design".
