004 | Tatiana Bilbao Estudio

“I think that we architects should be producing platforms for anyone to develop their own way of living in this planet.”
In Tatiana Bilbao’s interview with Arc of Arc, we get a glimpse of the early years of inventing her way of building up her first body of work. Tatiana walks us through how she utilizes the collage as a representational method that is well-adapted to the ever-changing nature of the projects, tells us her predilection for ancient buildings, and shares her design belief that architects should create platforms to enable individual experiences to flourish.
Tatiana Bilbao founded Tatiana Bilbao Estudio in 2004. She is based in Mexico City and has completed projects in Mexico, the United States, France, Guatemala, China, and more. The studio pursues architecture through multidisciplinary perspectives. The working method uses hand drawing and iterative models to keep design and development rooted in spatial and not digital exploration. Bilbao's work has been featured in publications such as the New York Times, A+U, and Domus, among others.
