Frida Escobedo
Thrust into the spotlight in 2018 when selected to design the Serpentine Pavilion, the prolific Mexican architect advocates variety in work, and champions diversity and female creativity in her future leaders
INTERVIEW: ELLIE STATHAKI
Frida Escobedo is busy. While the pandemic slowed things down a bit for her and her Mexico City practice, also coinciding with a break from academic teaching, business is now picking up again. She currently has some 15 projects on the go, is about to travel to Europe to meet a client, and has been knee-deep prepping for a new design workshop she is about to lead at the Yale School of Architecture, kicking offin spring 2022. It is a stage of intense research and preparation, an incredibly demanding and rich period in an architect’s creative process that often remains unseen.
