Lorenzo Rocha Cito
“As an architect, the residency program opened new and different professional horizons.”
Lorenzo Rocha Cito is a Mexican architect whose work focuses on the experimental use of space. He incorporates interdisciplinary practices into his work, allowing him to explore the impact of design and intervention in the spaces he produces. The reactivation of spaces through social use is a recurring theme in the work of architects of his generation. Since 2005, he has been the director of [ESPACIO] contemporary art magazine and a regular contributor to Milenio newspaper. In 2012, he founded Oficina de Arte, an artist residency in downtown Mexico City. He currently teaches at the Architecture Faculty of UNAM.
