Just over six months ago, the Federation of Architects' Associations of the Republic of Mexico invited young Mexican architects to participate in the Third Young Architects Biennial, aiming to identify, recognize, and promote their best works. Through analysis and critique, the biennial fostered reflection on responsible contemporary architecture with sustainable solutions.

In this third edition of the biennial, 50 young architecture firms (aged 35 and under) submitted more than 100 architectural works across 20 of the country's states. The jury—composed of architects Luby Springall, Mauricio Rocha, Lucio Muniain, Manuel Herrera, and Vanessa Vielma—awarded 1 Gold Medal, 10 Silver Medals, and 15 Honorable Mentions.

Below, discover the winning projects of the Third Young Architects Biennial.
