MRD ARQUITECTOS _Architecture Workshop. 2008

We are a team of architects and collaborators working together; we firmly believe in the power and the values of our profession. We promote connection and collaboration with designers, artists, engineers, urban planners, landscapers, lighting designers, biologists, historians, and others.

 

Manifest.

We are immersed in a simple yet profound process. We elaborate our investigation in a contextual manner: analyzing all the layers of a project, from the general to the specific aspects. We aim to understand the history and the culture of a country, a city, a population, a neighborhood…the antecedents and the analysis of the construction site.

Users are at the center of all our projects. Understanding their relationships with the space and the context, allows us to design connections and build a dialogue through architecture.

We are driven by our ability to weave social networks and create communities, by our need to contribute in this world and make this life and the place we live in a better place. We expect our projects to create jobs, security, and we aim for the contexts surrounding the building sites, to improve because of our work.

Honesty is a fundamental value for us: our materials, the building systems of our projects, allow us to shape great architecture. We avoid the use of unnecessary elements and promote a clean and unornamented architecture, which expresses authentic and human values style without being pretentious or excessive.

We are firm believers of illustrating and representing the current times, being updated and contemporary, yet being timeless. Our projects aim to be dignified and to age well, keeping their essence and communicating their message to future generations, for them to continue their positive dialogue with the city or context where they were built.

We are committed with our community, getting resources and workforce locally, thus strengthening our relationship with architects, engineers, contractors and traders, which results in a high-quality and detailed artisanal process.

Our everyday work is ruled by beauty, functionality, solidity, bareness, proportion, order and modulation, by the manipulation of lights and shades, the treatment and care of the human scale, and the respect to the integrity of all materials.

We interpret luxury with creativity and purpose, considering the value of spaces and our ability to create experiences which lead to success and happiness.

Nature connects and disconnects us; it is the beauty that surrounds us, and it teaches how small we are compared to the amazing universe. Therefore, our respect, humility, and admiration to the wonders of nature are reflected in every single project of ours. Each project poses a challenge and an opportunity to promote respect and support in the struggle with climate change, and to cooperate with the imminent need to save our planet.

Our admiration for Mexico leads us to recover and reinvent traditions, customs, building systems, design language, trades, cultural wealth, life, color and show passion in every nook.

Fine arts accompany us, sensitize us, and teach us to appreciate and value moments, hence strengthening and confronting our senses and emotions. Our architecture is complemented by them, which make our projects greater, more powerful and more precious.

We appreciate all the opportunities given to us to build and materialize the cooperation between our clients, the workshop and our collaborators to fulfill a project.

Let us be aware and conscious; let us enjoy the process; let us live the present.
