Frida Escobedo, Principal and Founder at Taller de Arquitectura, joins us for the lecture "(Dis)continuity" at 5:30pm in Farish Gallery.
Frida Escobedo is principal and founder of an architecture and design studio based in Mexico City. The projects produced at the studio operate within a theoretical framework that addresses time not as a historical calibration but rather a social operation.
The work developed at Frida Escobedo´s studio ranges from art installation and furniture design to residential and public buildings. Her work has been presented at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London (2015), the Venice Biennale (2012) and the Chicago Biennial (2015). In 2009 the Architectural League of New York awarded her with the Young Architects Forum award and the Emerging Voices this year. Last year the Architectural Review awarded her with the Emerging Voices Award.
Frida Escobedo has been a visiting professor at Columbia University's Graduate School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation GSAPP in 2015, and at Harvard Graduate School of Design GSD and at the Architectural Association of London in 2016.
