CGBC Lecture Series: Benjamín Romano on “Integrating Flow in High Rise Structures”

Benjamín Romano is a Mexico City-based architect and the founder of the firm, LBR&A Arquitectos. He was the lead architect of Torre Reforma—the second-tallest building in Mexico—a 57-story exposed concrete high-rise that overlooks the expansive Chapultepec Park. LBR&A Arquitectos has been involved in office, residential, cultural and industrial projects across Mexico City and beyond. The firm is known for its attention to contemporary design, high-tech and sustainable solutions, and flexibility in space.

Romano finished his first construction project, two manufacturing plants for the apparel industry in Hidalgo, Mexico, in 1978, while completing his bachelor’s degree in Architecture & Urbanism from Universidad Iberoamericana. He has taught in various capacities at the Universidad Iberoamericana since 1982, and lectured worldwide.

Romano is currently an Expert in Residence at the Harvard Graduate School of Design and a Visiting Affiliated Faculty Member at the CGBC.
