Mexico’s Secretary of Communications and Transportation, Grupo Aeroportuario Director Federico Patiño and Fernando Romero opened the Mexico City New International Airport site office, a 7,500 square meter facility that will host a project team of 250 people to oversee design, engineering and construction in situ for what will be the largest airport in the Western Hemisphere. Construction is scheduled to begin in early 2017.
fr·ee’s vision for a binational city on the US-Mexico border was unveiled at the 2016 London Design Biennale. Rooted in the long history of places where frontiers meet, cities where cultures both clash and blend, Romero’s vision is a place where borders are not binary, emphasizing a way in which people and goods can move more freely across the US-Mexico border.
“This is a long-term vision, a utopian vision that is not about building walls but about thinking more ambitiously about the mutual relationship [between Mexico and America] and about what borders between countries really mean,” noted Romero.

El Sol will be on display during Design Miami/, and will permanently reside in Swarovski’s collection.
