RA! is an architecture office founded by Pedro Ramírez de Aguilar, Santiago Sierra
and Cristóbal Ramírez de Aguilar in 2017 based in Mexico City.
RA! understands architecture as the study and production of spaces that stimulate
and shelter human beings. Through this thought, RA! classifies architecture
according to human relationships: societal, personal and interpersonal, always
placing individuals as the center of their design.
RA! is in a constant exploration, so experimentation is an inherent process of their
vision. Experimental projects such as competitions, installations and academic
exercises, allow the practice to explore new design possibilities and unknown tools
to keep an evolving vision.
The studio seeks an architectural proposal through questioning, investigation and
the use of various tools that range from drawings to the production of videos,
models and coordination with specialists that allow each detail to be expressed,
explored and communicated, with the objective of moving those who inhabit it.
RA! is in charge of the construction of most of their projects in Mexico City,
forming a strong bond with construction workers, and learning from their artisanal
techniques.
Currently RA! has been working on projects abroad, in places such as; Costa Rica,
Chile and Greece.
Most recently RA! is in charge of creating the book “30 Días Proyectando” 30 days
projecting by the hand of Mentes publishing, a book and exhibition that brings
together 30 young offices in Mexico to exhibit their daily experiences as a diary.
RA! is an expression of encouragement and enthusiasm.
