30 Best Architecture Firms in Mexico

Modernism is often associated with the International Style. However, some of the best examples are those that re-interpret existing architectural traditions through the language of contemporary building materials and technologies. Mexican architecture is exemplary in this regard. Throughout the 20th century, architects found ample inspiration in the country’s architecturally fertile history. Indeed, Mexico’s countless pre-hispanic and colonial heritage combine to form the largest concentration of UNESCO World Heritage Sites in the Americas. In the decades following the Mexican Revolution of 1917, federal funding for housing, education and healthcare programs fueled a creative culture of design and construction. In the process, Mexican architects challenged broader definitions of modernist architecture by drawing on this rich past.

Today, the country continues to innovate, with socio-political agendas pushing the envelope in terms of volume, materiality and environmental footprint. While Luis Barragán’s name continues to loom large on the scene, Frida Escobedo and Tatiana Bilbao are also making ways by changing the urban landscape into a contemporary and socially-responsible space. Mexico’s architectural palimpsest has equally intrigued contemporary designers to revive the vernacular building traditions of its indigenous ancestors. The resulting diverse architectural landscape makes for a fascinating place to explore.

With so many architecture firms to choose from, it’s challenging for clients to identify the industry leaders that will be an ideal fit for their project needs. Fortunately, Architizer is able to provide guidance on the top design firms in Mexico based on more than a decade of data and industry knowledge.
