TATIANA BILBAO
About Speaker
Tatiana Bilbao was born in 1972 in Mexico-City. She studied architecture and urbanism at Universidad Iberoamerica, where she received an honorable mention for her thesis in 1998. The Tatiana Bilbao Estudio focuses on the guiding principle “making places and spaces, by people, for people”.
The practice maintains the ethos of labor-intensive, handmade buildings, providing much-needed jobs in Mexico by trying not to replace people with machines—and ultimately giving the final result a raw energy. Tatiana Bilbao has held several visiting scholar positions as for example at Luis Kahn Visiting Professorship, Yale School of Architecture in 2015.
Tatiana Bilbao Estudio was the featured architecture firm in the Architect’s Studio series of exhibitions hosted by the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art. The studio has had work featured in the Graham Foundation, Chicago Architecture Biennial, Venice Biennale, and Museo de Arte Contemporáneo de Monterrey to name a few.

Event text
Every architect knows famous buildings – but do you know the people, who design and build them? Who are they and how did they become what they are today? Discover it at our lecture series ‘Architects, not Architecture.’ Come to the Queen’s Hall in the Royal Library on October 11 and meet Kim Herforth Nielsen, Tatiana Bilbao and Louis Becker. They are allowed to talk about anything but their work.
In the past three years the event ‘Architects, not Architects’ ran successfully in Germany and inspired hundreds of architects in various cities. Now it comes to Denmark, Copenhagen. Fermín Tribaldos, Spanish architect and initiator of ‘Architects, not Architecture’ says: “The concept is always the same. The three guest speakers have twenty minutes each to talk about their ideas of architecture and (professional) biography as well as their personal visions and goals. But they are not allowed to talk about any of their projects.”
In Copenhagen two Danish architects and one Mexican architect will share their ideas and background with us. All three are experienced professionals, who build award winning projects around the world.
- Kim Herforth Nielsen, Founder and Creative Director at 3XN Architects, www.3xn.com.
- Tatiana Bilbao, Founder of Tatiana Bilbao Estudio, www.tatianabilbao.com.
- Louis Becker, Design Principal and partner at Henning Larsen, www.henninglarsen.com.
The event will be held in English.
Kim Herforth Nielson is the driving force behind 3XN since the foundation in 1986. For him the art of architecture is to build a sculpture around the patterns of movement and the synergies that arise between people. Tatiana Bilbao is a Mexican architect whose innovative works often merged geometry with nature. She was committed to collaboration as an essential feature of her work and tries to regenerate spaces in order to humanize them as a reaction to global capitalism, opening up niches for cultural and economic development. Tatiana Bilbao will have a solo exhibition at Louisiana Museum of Modern Art in 2019. Third speaker is Louis Becker from Henning Larsen. Over the three decades at the office, he has played an integral role in the internationalization of Henning Larsen and is spearheading Henning Larsen’s successful entry and positioning in the North American market. He believes that architecture must speak directly to users and give back to the society in which it exists.
Look forward to exciting lectures and discussions with our inspiring guest speakers. The open and personal atmosphere creates an evening ideal for networking and exchange.
This event is kindly supported by our partners Schüco, Jung, Delux/Hess GmbH Licht + Form and BoConcept.
