Mexico City
Archivo Diseño y Arquitectura promotes, exhibits, reviews and enhances design through many outlets. Founded by Mexican architect Fernando Romero and his wife Soumaya Slim de Romero in 2012, the archive consists of two sections: a collection of more than 1,300 national and international industrial design icons and a collection of bibliographical holdings dedicated to the architectural discipline. Both collections are open to the public by appointment.
Archivo seeks to establish itself as a precedent and referent as an institution working with diverse curatorial and exhibition teams in a variety of activities to beget critical exchanges within a specific context. The institution also aims to integrate academic and creative communities with the public to establish Archivo’s initiative as a pioneer for Mexico and the global community.
