Architect Michel Rojkind takes to the streets for early-morning runs as he watches the city awaken to a new day. He uses his exercise routine as a means to understand the urban fabric that weaves cities together and ultimately innovate his practices in architecture and design.
Two dozen reSITE 2018 ACCOMMODATE participants joined Michel on a run, jogging by Prague's most iconic panoramas, buildings, parks, viewpoints, and river banks following the years annual conference. Afterward, he spoke with reSITE's founder and architect Martin Barry, to explain what “RUN WITH ROJKIND” means and how it helps evolve his ideas and processes.
Michel Rojkind is the founder of Rojkind Arquitectos, an architecture studio based in Mexico City, Mexico. He is known for his designs such as Cineteca National, Tori Tori, Mercado Roma, and the stunning Foro Boca, a concert hall located in Veracruz, Mexico.
