Frida Escobedo, Architect
Frida Escobedo is principal and founder of a Mexico-based architecture and design studio. Her award-winning work is most recognized for reactivating urban spaces that are considered to be residual or forgotten.
Notable projects include La Tallera, the rehabilitation of the home and studio of the seminal Mexican painter David Alfaro Siqueiros (Cuernavaca, 2012); Librería Octavio Paz (Mexico City, 2013); and the renovation of the iconic 1950s Hotel Boca Chica (Acapulco, 2010). Recent projects include ‘If we want to continue,’ an intervention at the Neutra VDL Research House in Los Angeles; “No. 9,” an exhibition at the Arthur Ross Gallery, Columbia University; and large-scale installations at the Chicago Architecture Biennial, la Biennale d'Architecture d'Orléans. Frida has also been designing unique pop-up and permanent spaces for Australia-based beauty brand Aesop since 2014.
In addition to her practice, Frida Escobedo has taught at Columbia University’s Graduate School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation; Harvard Graduate School of Design; and the Architectural Association, London and University of California, Berkley. She is the recipient of the 2014 BIAU Prize, the 2016 Architectural Review Emerging Architecture Award, the 2017 Architectural League Emerging Voices Award, and most recently, the 2018 Serpentine Summer Pavilion. During spring 2019 she was a visiting professor at RICE University and is currently teaching at Harvard Graduate School of Design.
