LANZA Atelier

LANZA Atelier is an architecture studio founded in 2015 by Isabel Abascal and Alessandro Arienzo and based in Mexico City, with a stated leitmotiv of finding and contributing to the beauty of the world. For the studio, architecture is a means of contributing to reality and of taking an ideological position.

Its first solo show, New Work, was held at SFMOMA in 2018, followed by exhibitions at the Latin American Architecture Biennial, the São Paulo Architecture Biennial, the Lisbon Triennial and Concéntrico. LANZA won the Architectural League of New York’s Young Architects Prize in 2017 and its Emerging Voices award in 2023, and was selected in 2026 to design the 25th Serpentine Pavilion. Work spans industrial design, housing, cultural spaces and public infrastructure, from Forest House and the MARCO museum garden to the Kosovo Pavilion.
