GG-LOOP BELIEVES THAT ARCHITECTURE, AS ANSWER TO A SPATIAL DEMAND, CANNOT BE MERELY FUNCTIONAL. EVERY SPACE NEEDS TO TELL A STORY.

René’s work in recent years explores the contemporary and future forms of the urban border between the United States and Mexico. René is a coauthor, with Fiamma Montezemolo and Heriberto Yépez, of the book, Here is Tijuana, published in 2006 by Black Dog, London. In 2018, he co-edited, along with Tito Alegría and Roger Lewis, the commemorative edition of the book A Temporary Paradise: A look at the special landscape of the San Diego Region, originally prepared by Kevin Lynch and Donald Appleyard (COLEF 2018).

His work has been exhibited at the Museum of Contemporary Art in San Diego, Santa Monica Art Museum, Mexico House at the Embassy of Mexico in Washington, DC, Shenzhen Architecture and Urbanism Biennial 2007 and the Central Society of Architects in Buenos Aires, Argentina. In 2015, his research on the Experimental Housing Project (PREVI) in Lima, Peru, was part of the exhibition “Latin America in Construction: Architecture 1955-1980” at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. In 2017, he directed Hyperloop West, a group that went on to become a semi-finalist in the global challenge competition organized by Virgin Hyperloop One. In 2017, Rene curated the Tijuana-San Diego exhibit space at the 2017 Architecture and Urbanism Biennial in Seoul, Korea.

I belived in the principle that interior is for the users and exterior is for the public. Architecture is the reflection of ones culture and history. Architecture is developed and evolved out of the local culture, climate, materials, and  context. So, architects need to design respecting the local context, local culture and local history.

So, my focus is on searching for the locally focussed architecture in this global architecture. 

historical urban & architecture + public spaces and its changing under the impact of social / economic pressure.

Architect of the future now needs to look beyond and behave as not only Architectural designer, but the leaders of the design world imbedding holistic knowledge of environmental design, social science, business development , technology adaptation and becoming globalise in the world and outerspace.

The opportunity to leave a lasting impact is a privilege, and architects are gifted with this in every building they design. My prime focus falls under umbrella of construction project management and its prime role in Architectural practices. As an architect, I feel that practicality of any built project and it's design coordination  is the major source of success of any project being executed on ground.
