@FerRomero_FREE

Fernando Romero is recognized as one of the leading architects of his generation and part of a new vanguard that is upending traditional approaches to design. The concept of translation embodies his approach to architecture, transforming context, conditions, and moments into buildings, places, and objects with structured identities. Since establishing FR-EE seventeen years ago, the firm has grown to over 200 people with offices in Mexico City and New York and important commissions and proposals worldwide. Amongst his most recognized projects are the Museo Soumaya, Mexico’s most Instagrammed building; and Mexico City's New International Airport (NAICM), anticipated to be amongst the largest and most sustainable airports in the world. His proposal for a bi-national Border City has received considerable attention for its provocative yet pioneering approach to tackling the realities of immigration, trade, and explosive population growth along the US-Mexico border. An honorary fellow of the American Institute of Architects (AIA), Romero was named a global leader of tomorrow at the World Economic Forum, and one of Fast Company’s "50 Most Influential Designers."
