PABLO ROQUERO OFFICE is a collaboration-based design firm working in the fields of architecture and urbanism with a trans-scalar and interdisciplinary approach.
While the body of work of the office displays projects for a wide range of different programs, such as collective housing, educational, cultural, research, and institutional buildings, the central theme of our work focuses on designs that explore formal organizations and processes, to find new connections between architecture, landscape, and urbanism. Our projects aim to articulate beauty, clarity, and boldness with meaningful socio-spatial development to support ecological systems and promote integrated communities.
The office is directed by Pablo Roquero. He holds a Master's degree in Architecture (with honors) from the Harvard Graduate School of Design and a professional degree in Architecture from Universidad de la República in Uruguay.
His professional career has been shaped in various countries where he has collaborated with recognized architects such as Ricardo Bofill in Spain, Hashim Sarkis in the USA, and Winy Maas in the Netherlands. He has served as an external consultant for the Housing and Urban Development Division of the IADB, and he has worked as a researcher at notable academic institutions such as TU Delft, Harvard, and MIT.
His design work has been awarded several prizes and recognitions, as well as it has been published and exhibited in international journals and venues such as the World Architecture Festival and the Venice Biennale of Architecture.
