Located in Mexico City, Tatiana Bilbao Estudio is well known internationally for its use of traditional Mexican construction techniques, the highly sculptural effects of its buildings and its unusually collaborative approach toward each client. Founded by Tatiana Bilbao (born 1972) in 2004, its completed buildings include the Gratitude Open Chapel in La Ruta del Peregrino, Gabriel Orozco's house in Roca Blanca and the botanical garden in Culiacan. The enormous production of ideas and designs that takes place there is directed to different spaces, in which the architecture is deeply humanized. This publication accompanies the exhibition entitled with the same name that together make a retrospective on collaborative work and the knowledge and use of traditional Mexican construction techniques that distinguish Tatiana Bilbao ESTUDIO. Projects that are divided into four of the most important topics for the study: living, space, collage and context. With texts by Patrick Charpenel, Simon Hartmann, Raymund Ryan and a conversation with Gonzalo Ortega, the contemporary language of Tatiana Bilbao ESTUDIO is shown, which combines the use of a hundred of the materials, optimal functionality and original design, with a discreet aesthetic that denotes great respect towards the landscape.
