Rozana Montiel Estudio de Arquitectura 

To materialize comes from the Latin 'to become mother'. In Greek mythology Rhea is the figure of female fertility, motherhood and generation. Her name means 'that which flows'

REA

ROZANA MONTIEL | ARCHITECTURE STUDIO (REA) is an office specialized on architectural design, artistic re-conceptualizations of space, and the public domain. The studio works on a wide variety of projects in different scales and layers that range from the city to the book, the artefact and other micro-objects.

Their areas of research include living spaces, urban uses of public space, and the resignification of building materials with an emphasis on place-making, livability, and temporary uses of space. The workshop believes that beauty is a social right, and therefore seeks to generate quality spaces with multiple temporal narratives.

Rozana Montiel is founder and director of the Mexico-based architectural firm ROZANA MONTIEL | ESTUDIO DE ARQUITECTURA.

Montiel holds an MA in Architectural Theory and Criticism from the Universitat Politécnica de Catalunya UPC (Spain, 2000), and a BA with Honors in Architecture and Urban Planning from the Universidad Iberoamericana (Mexico, 1998).

Her interdisciplinary work has been published in renowned architectural magazines, as well as exhibited in Mexico, Italy, Spain, France, United States, United Kingdom, Germany and China. She has also presented her work in several editions of the Venice, Sao Paulo, Rotterdam and Lima biennials. Montiel is a member of the Editorial Board of the Architecture Magazine Arquine; she has given lectures, courses and seminars on architecture at prestigious universities around the world (Cornell University, Columbia University, Miami University).

Her book UH: Common Spaces in Housing Units was published in 2018 by Arquine.

In 2020 she taught the workshop "Abundant scarcities " at Cornell University and in 2021 at Kent State School of Architecture.
