“20 years under the sun” Steven Ehrlich ’69 Lecture Monday, September 29th, 5:00p.m. est EMPAC Theater Rensselaer Architecture continues its fall 2025 lecture series next Monday, September 29 at 5p.m. est with the lecture “20 years under the sun” by J. Alfonso Quiñones of BAAQ. BAAQ’ is an architectural firm founded by Alfonso Quiñones, based in Mexico City with a branch in Puerto Escondido, Oaxaca. The office operates very much like a studio, because a studio is where things are made, where you imagine something and produce it. As part of our resume, BAAQ’ was the local associate architect for Casa Wabi, the most recent project in Mexico by master architect Tadao Ando (1995 Pritzker Prize winner). We are currently working alongside the first project in our country by both Alvaro Siza (1992 Pritzker Prize winner) and Kengo Kuma. Our projects have been recognized in various publications, and in 2012 we received an award at the 12th Mexican Architecture Biennial for our project “Casa del Río.” http://www.baaq.net/
