Javier Senosiain
(Mexico City, 1948)
Javier Senosian Aguilar, graduated with honors from the National School of Architecture of the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM), where he was taught by architects such as Mathias Goeritz and Ernesto Gómez Gallardo, who motivated him to look at spaces in another way, use colors, confront volumetry and monumentality, and to appreciate architectural elements that later influenced his practice.
Since then, he has combined teaching with research. In the professional field, he has developed projects and constructions of diverse kinds. He held the position of Academic Secretary of UNAM’s School of Architecture, and during the year 2006 taught the Federico Mariscal masterclass.
He is considered the leading exponent of organic architecture in México, and is the author of Bio-architecture, in Search of a Space (1966), and Javier Senosian, Organic Architecture (2017), among other titles.
