Tatiana Bilbao

She founded Tatiana Bilbao ESTUDIO in 2004 and has completed projects in China,[1] France, the United States, Mexico, Guatemala, among others.

Representative projects include the Botanical Garden of Culiacán, Sinaloa,[2][3] the exhibition hall of a park located in Jinhua, China and a prototype of sustainable social housing of 62 m2 (670 sq ft) with the capacity to duplicate with a cost of 120 thousand Mexican pesos, that was presented at the Chicago Architecture Biennial in 2015,[4] and originally screened in Chiapas, Mexico.

Her grandfather was Tomás Bilbao Hospitalet, a Basque-origin architect and politician who fled Spain and settled in Mexico in 1942.

So Bilbao met with architects and Infonavit, the federally owned bank that grants massive housing loans, to start reconvening new city centers and creating satellite urban environments.

The first project built by her studio was the exhibition pavilion in Jinhua Architecture Park, led and coordinated by Chinese artist Ai Weiwei who selected a group of young architects from around the world to design and develop a large park with a network of pavilions on the shore of the Yiwu River, close to Shanghai.

[14] Her diverse work includes the Botanical Garden in Culiacán, a master plan and open chapel for a Pilgrimage Route in Jalisco, a Biotechnological Center for a Tech Institution, a sustainable housing prototype, and a funeral home.

In this exhibition, you can see how Mexican culture and traditions play an essential role in her work as well as her commitment to social and sustainable architecture.

Likewise, there is a collaboration with the National Museum of Art of Mexico City, MUNAL, and works by artists such as José María Velasco and Dr. Atl will be presented.

[5] In 2014, Bilbao received the Global Award for Sustainable Architecture Prize from the LOCUS Foundation and the Cite de L'Architecture of Paris.

This award is presented annually to five architects who have shown unique approaches to sustainable development in response to the needs of society.
