Based in Mexico City, Michel Rojkind has launched into the international architectural arena with the combined attitudes of a rock musician, an impulsive explorer, and an attentive listener. With the idea of exploring new challenges that address contemporary society, to design compelling experiences that go beyond mere functionality, and to connect at a deeper level with the intricacies of each project, he established an independent firm rojkind arquitectos (2002) recognized by Architectural Record in 2005 as one of the best ten “Design Vanguard” firms. By pursuing all projects that represent a particular design challenge, rojkind arquitectos has been able to develop a wide and evergrowing spectrum of designs initiatives, from the intimacies of small objects to the intricacies of large buildings and master plans. Recently Michel has been short-listed to participate in several large scale international projects, including Canada, Kuwait, and Spain. In addition to being a regular contributor in several architectural and design publications, Michel Rojkind has been invited as a jury member in many international competitions, and has held many visiting professorships at several universities.
