Firm Description

A-001 Taller de Arquitectura is an architecture, urbanism, design, and research firm based in Mexico City. Its name represents the first idea in the conception of a project. We go back to the origins of design, using observation and contemplation as a creative principle: to think is to give shape. Our guiding question is, “How is it done?” Our effort is placed in the permanent and progressive improvement of design through research, experimentation, and the care for detail. For us, learning is a full time occupation. We model different possibilities for generating experiences and spatial relations in a permeable creative process, that embodies the user and its necessities, to construct an architectonical response. Our approach to ideas helps us create spaces that empower stories. The labor of A-001 underlines the honesty, congruence and pertinence in the use of construction materials.
