Constructing Practice: Max Núñez Arquitectos

15 January 2018

Max Núñez (‘10 MSAAD)

Max Núñez (‘10 MSAAD), of Max Núñez Arquitectos, talks about how working with different geographical conditions impacts the result of his work and how his practice is shaped by the diversity of his projects. Constructing Practice traces the narratives of young firms from around the globe, featuring the participants of a Columbia GSAPP symposium that took place on November 17, 2017, and expands the conversation to include many others, to tell us how they do what they do. Hosted by GSAPP Professor Juan Herreros, principal of Estudio Herreros in Madrid.

Based in Santiago, Max Núñez Arquitectos has developed a wide range of private and public projects throughout Chile, including the Atacama Regional Museum in Copiapó, the MAD Building in The Grange School, single-family housing projects, and public infrastructure projects for two National Parks in the Chilean Patagonia. In 2017 Max Núñez Arquitectos was awarded the Design Vanguard recognition by Architectural Record Magazine.

“Working in different geographic locations has been the most important aspect in my work. We’ve been dealing with very different ground conditions and climates, which certainly have defined the way we approach design and building.”
—Max Núñez
