Mauricio Rocha

[1] Mauricio Rocha was born in Mexico City in 1965 and studied architecture at Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México in the Max Cetto workshop.

In his architectural works his most outstanding buildings are different projects realized in México City, like the “Center for the attention of blind people” in the Ixtapalapa district, “House for abandoned children” in Observatorio DF, “San Pablo Ozotepec Market” in the Milpa Alta district in DF, etc.

With his first project realized in 1991 at the age of 25 (the house of his mother, the renowned Mexican photographer Graciela Iturbide) he founded “Taller de Arquitectura”, although he collaborated with his father Manuel Rocha Diaz until his death in 1996.

From the fusion of the two offices, Mauricio Rocha built the foundation of a new one, generating new projects for public and private buildings all over the country.

In 2014, Graciela Iturbide commissioned Taller de Arquitectura Mauricio Rocha + Gabriela Carrillo to build a brick studio in Coyoacán, Mexico City, which was completed in 2017.
