Hector Barroso, Taller Hector Barroso (Mexico City)

Héctor Barroso Riba, (1982) studied at the Universidad Anáhuac México Campus Norte (Huixquilucandirige, México). In 2018, he has received the silver medal from the College of Architects of Mexico City and the Society of Mexican Architects (CAM-SAM); In May, he won the gold medal at the Second Biennial of Young Architects organized by the Federation of Colleges of Architects of the Mexican Republic. Since 2010 he has directed a studio that seeks to generate architectural proposals that manage to merge with their surroundings, taking advantage of the natural resources of each place: the influence of light and shadows, the surrounding vegetation, the composition of the earth and the geography. Thanks to this, the projects merge in harmony with the environment that surrounds them, creating spaces that emphasize the livable quality of the architecture. Veracruz 69 Int.

INFO AND REGISTRATION

As part of the 2022 Real Matter Workshop, Johanna Hurme will lecture on her current work with 5468796 in Winnipeg, MB sharing architectural practice in the real world.
Johanna Hurme is an architect and cofounder of Winnipeg-based 5468796 Architecture. The firm seeks projects that explore the potential for density, affordability, sustainability achieved through non-traditional means and a dynamic design approach. For the past 15 years, 546 has been pursuing a critical architectural response to contemporary issues in multi-family housing and urban design, grounded in real-life practice-based experience and a tandem investigation into worldwide housing research and built work. In this time, Johanna has discovered that an architect’s scope of work stretches deep and wide, necessitating an understanding of how their role in challenging contexts must increasingly intersect with politics, economics, social activism, and other forms of cultural and scholarly research and pragmatic engagement.
