Today, November 10, the National Academy of Architecture, through a statement issued by Arch. José F. Reygadas Valdéz (President) and Arch. Antonio Gallardo E. (Secretary General), announced the passing of Mexican architect Agustín Hernández Navarro, an Emeritus Academic of the institution.
Born in Mexico City in 1924, his dedicated work established him as a prestigious professional who remained active until the age of 98. He was also a distinguished educator who shaped countless generations of students. His career earned him various accolades, including the 2004 National Prize for Arts and Sciences. Some of his most recognized works include the building for his Architecture Studio, Casa en el Aire, the building of the Heroic Military Academy, the Ballet Folklórico School, and the Calakmul Corporate Center (known as La Lavadora), among others.
