Current Work: Urban Domesticity
Tatiana Bilbao
Tatiana Bilbao ESTUDIO
Moderated by Hilary Sample
1.5 AIA and New York State CEUs
This lecture is co-sponsored by The Irwin S. Chanin School of Architecture of The Cooper Union.
Each year The Architectural League’s Current Work series features significant international figures who powerfully influence contemporary architectural practice and shape the future of the built environment. Tatiana Bilbao of Tatiana Bilbao ESTUDIO will present her firm’s work in a public lecture.
Tatiana Bilbao ESTUDIO analyzes urban and social issues to rethink how spaces can be “reactive to global capitalism, opening up niches for cultural and economic development.” Bilbao founded the multidisciplinary practice in 2004 in Mexico City.
At the 2015 Chicago Architecture Biennial, Bilbao presented a full-scale affordable home prototype intended to be constructed in Mexico for anywhere between $8,000 and $14,000. Its design was developed based on her extended interviews, workshops, and qualitative research conducted with prospective Mexican tenants. The investigation resulted in a modular home constructed from a concrete core and brise-soliels made from reclaimed wood palettes that can be re-positioned to adapt to geographic, social, and budgetary constraints.
