Mexican architect Gabriela Carrillo has forged a distinguished and passionate career centered on the city, the territory, and diversity. Her widely recognized work—initially in collaboration with Mauricio Rocha and subsequently leading her own studio—has become a benchmark for contemporary architecture in Mexico. Her projects manifest global demands, as she constantly strives to recognize the values inherent in the territory and create spaces that elevate their inhabitants. Gabriela Carrillo stands at the intersection of architectural practice, theory, and research. Her approach is oriented toward the everyday, adopting a versatile and dynamic practice that allows her to maintain a balance between her work and personal life.
The Architecture Symposium is an event organized by 9th-semester students from the Tecnológico Superior de Jalisco. It is held for both students and alumni, not only from the institute but from the entire architecture community in Puerto Vallarta. Each year, we have the opportunity to host and engage with prominent figures in architecture from Mexico and around the world. Through a series of lectures, competitions, and workshops, young professionals can deepen their passion for the field, find inspiration, and envision what is possible to achieve within it.
