Rozana Montiel in Conversation with Luiza Furia
Luiza Furia, a first year M.Arch student at Columbia GSAPP, speaks with Mexican architect Rozana Montiel, founder of Rozana Montiel - Estudio de Arquitectura, on the occasion of her lecture on January 22, 2018. \nThey discuss how to engage local communities, the politics of architecture, and the questions young architects should ask when taking on a project. Montiel also touches on the Albino Ortega house, and creating a space designed for reflection. \n\u201cArchitecture is not only the brick construction but it\u2019s a social construction. If you don\u2019t pay attention to people\u2019s needs, then you\u2019re not engaging any type of architecture\u2026. If people engage, they feel ownership\u201d \u2013 Rozana Montiel \nMore information on Rozana Montiel - Estudio de Arquitectura at http://rozanamontiel.com/en/\nMore information on her lecture at https://www.arch.columbia.edu/events/814-rozana-montiel
