EDAA Information

Architecture and Cultural Practice Founded in Mexico City by Luis Arturo García, EDAA is an internationally recognized architecture and cultural practice. Two decades of experience connect architectural authorship with entrepreneurial accountability across Mexico, the United States, Portugal and Japan. Self-initiated development integrates investment, design, construction, sales and operations: Yácatas 475, Taxco 25 and Madame Curie in Lisbon. Taxco combines heritage rehabilitation with new housing. Casa Meztitla connects awarded architecture, hospitality and a cultural platform. Commissioned architecture includes Arbor in New York, a forest master plan for a home, art and car collections; Novo Nordisk interiors and construction; restoration and interiors in Tokyo; and the finalist proposal for Belgium's Embassy in Mexico City. Installations include Transparency is Unavoidable, winner of the Architecture MasterPrize and DNA Paris Design Awards, and spatial collaborations with Yupica incorporating audiovisual and sound art. Collectible design links Antracita's modular forms to the proposed architectural system for Revolución 1412. Windows for Resistance, with Angela Damman and IAJM, brings henequen's material and social history into space. Work has featured at Zona Maco, Unique Design X and CAN Art Ibiza. Assess, Define, Design and Deliver connect property evaluation and development strategy with architectural design, technical development and execution. Engagements can begin before a brief exists or develop an established commission. Recognition: Architizer A+Awards; Dedalo Minosse OCCAM Under 40; Golden Trezzini distinctions; MCHAP and Oscar Niemeyer nominations; FCARM Young Architects Biennial Gold Medal; García's national Alberto J. Pani Architectural Composition Award. Architizer named EDAA among Mexico's 30 Best Architecture and Design Firms in 2026.
