We are thrilled to announce that our “Bottling warehouse and offices for Clase Azul” was selected for the UIA 2026 World Congress of Architects framed by the theme Becoming, Architectures for a Planet in Transition.

On june 23 at Theatro Milano, ATELIER ARS engaged in a conversation with Francesca Serrazanetti, offering an overview of their professional practice to mark the conclusion of the spring series.

The Working together award was won by La Hacienda Jalisco in Mexico by ATELIER ARS. The warehouse and office development for tequila maker Clase Azul used local ceramics and stone from the site excavation to anchor the buildings in their volcanic topography. From the east, the building appears as a “ceramic horizon”, thanks to a roof clad with traditional clay elements, which physically anchors the building to the earth, producing a topographic relationship with the terrain, blurring the lines between architecture and landscape.

The monograph TC 170 - ATELIER ARS (TC Cuadernos, Spain), bring together fifteen years of practice and present their most significant work. The publication traces the studio's trajectory, which is deeply linked to landscape, vernacular forms, and a contemporary interpretation of modern tradition. It articulates an architectural philosophy constructed from territory, light, and the experience of travel. This monograph document various projects, presented alongside essays by Guerrero and Soto, as well as a text from Antonio Riggen offering different perspectives on their work.

Andrea Soto Morfin and Alejandro Guerrero recently published ``Nostalgia and Transgression`` (Arquine Editorial, Mexico) that present their architectural and landscape studio, ATELIER ARS, founded in Guadalajara, Mexico. This monograph brings together fifteen years of practice and present the most significant work shaped by a deep reflection on the three core themes of the studio’s oeuvre: architecture’s relationship with nature through landscape; its intrinsic condition as a discipline, seen through the role of history in contemporary practice; and its relationship to the human experience, explored through rituals and myths.

``Reflecting on the present`` a seminar coordinated by Andrea Soto and Alejandro Guerrero at ForA in the city of Guadalajara, Mexico. ForA is an initiative that has been successfully developing since 2021, independent from schools or public institutions. Its main objective is to offer quality content through lectures, seminars, courses and exhibitions on architecture.

Our course aims to value diverse approaches within the contemporary practice of architecture, which allow us to have a broad panorama of action within our discipline, and in this way, contribute to our own understanding of the present moment in which we live.

The publication of ``Arquitecturas del Fuego I & II`` arises from the collaboration between two projects that share the city of Guadalajara as headquarters; on the one hand Artlecta bookstore, and on the other the Galimatías collective group.

Arquine.

This book gathers 50 projects built in Latin America between 2010 and 2015 by architects or groups of architects under 50 years. The sample is based on the architectures of public use, in a period where participatory processes and community relations that allow the construction of spaces as references within the continent and suggest radical positions in the ways of doing contemporary architecture stand out.

Our project for a memorial in Novasem, an industrial facility located in Acatlán de Juárez Jalisco, has been selected among 213 proposals to be part of the Mexican Pavilion at the Venice Biennale 2018. We are looking forward to develop a research about funerary architecture in México, working with the curators and the rest of the architects selected, to showcase the richness of our funerary tradition.

Our industrial and landscape project for a corn company, located in the outskirts of Guadalajara, won a Silver Medal in the National and International Mexican Architecture Biennial. We are grateful with our extraordinary clients who made this project possible. We are looking forward to keep on working on the next stage of this project.

Alejandro Guerrero and Andrea Soto were shortlisted in 2018 Architectural Review Emerging Architecture Award.
