Reviews
PALMA is a young architecture studio located in Mexico City. They design comprehensive and customized solutions for each architectural obstacle; their approach is based on a detailed analysis of the immediate context and a design process that’s open to experimentation and exploration.
Their projects include the Pedregal de San Francisco community center (first place in an open call), the museography for the exhibition MXCD01-Presente by Archivo Diseño y Arquitectura, and AROS, a children's playground in the Historic Center of Mexico City (winning project in the Urban Toys contest).
