About Michel Rojkind»

Michel Rojkind + PR34 House

Michel Rojkind was born on Decem­ber 18, 1969, in Mex­ico City, Mex­ico. When he was 18, in 1987, he joined Aleks Syntek’s band “La Gente Nor­mal”, as its drum­mer, with whom he con­tin­ued play­ing untill 1999, when the band broke apart, after 12 years and 4 albums.

While play­ing with “La Gente Nor­mal”, Michel stud­ied archi­tec­ture and urban plan­ning at the Uni­ver­si­dad Iberoamer­i­cana in Mex­ico City and, after work­ing on his own for sev­eral years, he teamed up with Isaac Broid and Miquel Adria to estab­lish the archi­tec­tural firm “Adria+Broid+Rojkind” (1998−2002). With the idea of explor­ing new chal­lenges that address con­tem­po­rary soci­ety, to design com­pelling expe­ri­ences that go beyond mere func­tion­al­ity, and to con­nect at a deeper level with the intri­ca­cies of each project, he estab­lished, in 2002, an inde­pen­dent firm (rojkind arqui­tec­tos), rec­og­nized by Archi­tec­tural Record in 2005 as “one of the best ten Design Van­guard firms”.
