Juan Carlos Baumgartner

“Design is a magic crystal with which you can see the world as it could be, not as it is... that is where transformation begins and the future is shaped.”

Baumgartner is a founding partner of the international architecture firm Space, originally based in Chicago but currently with offices in Mexico City, Guadalajara and Monterrey, India, Japan and partner offices in Spain, Brazil and the Netherlands, among other countries. For Baumgartner it is important to create spaces with sustainable technology that improve the environment, according to the essence, values, characteristics and needs of the project. Baumgartner reflects, “Architecture can be a tool to improve society”.
