Práctica Arquitectura is an architectural design firm founded in 2017 by David Martinez in the city of Monterrey, México. Within the workshop architecture is understood as a craft, a plural reflection attentive to history and emotions.
Seeking to involve the worlds of theoretical rigor with the weight that has a space translated into memory, Práctica Arquitectura intends to reach a dialogue where pre-existences, constructive tradition and the making of places/spaces are discussed.
The interest in history is a key principle in its work, understanding and reinterpreting it brings them closer to rigor over technique and the abstraction of learned ideas to broaden the understanding of the problem. In this way the workshop is understood as an extension of the classroom, here most of the architects working are David's former students, understanding Practica Arquitectura as a school and not as a traditional office. With a spirit of learning, the practice unfolds in processes with critical thinking to work on architectural events that complement the site.
