Architects Directory 2020: Naso, Mexico
José Ignacio Vargas Mier y Terán, who founded this young practice in 2018, brings together experience at Ricardo Legoretta, Tatiana Bilbao, Max von Werz, Carlos Zedillo and FRAMA Copenhagen, as well as studies in Mexico and the UK. The Mexican architect’s approach is multidisciplinary and research-based. His breakthrough project, Casa Martha, is a concrete and earth block structure in rural Mexico, created to replace an existing one on site, which was damaged by the country’s 2017 earthquake. Occupied by an elderly couple and their adult children, the house was conceived as an easy-to-access, simple building that allows for intergenerational living. The project was part of an initiative led by Mexican organisation ReConstruir México. As well as practicing, Vargas Mier y Terán also teaches at the Universidad Iberoamericana in Mexico City.
