Lecture

Michel Rojkind
Contagious Risk

Tuesday / Jan. 18, 2011 / 6:30PM Wyly Auditorium


According to Michel Rojkind Halpert, principal of Mexico City-based rojkind arquitectos, to have a contagious risk of the mind from the ideas of others is a means to bigger thinking. He speaks about the challenges of building during this time of economic crisis, stressing the strategy necessary to get things accomplished in different environments.

Michel Rojkind was born in Mexico City, where he studied Architecture and Urban Planning at the Universidad Iberoamericana (1989-1994). After working on his own for several years, he teamed up with Isaac Broid and Miquel Adria to establish Adria+Broid+Rojkind (1998-2002).

With the idea of exploring new challenges that address contemporary society, of designing compelling experiences that go beyond mere functionality, and of connecting at a deeper level with the intricacies of each project, in 2002 he established an independent firm: rojkind arquitectos, recognized by Architectural Record in 2005 as one of the ten best “Design Vanguard” firms.
