Alejandra Diaz

Alejandra Díaz Ibargüengoitia is an architect with 20 years of experience in Mexico City. She holds a bachelor’s degree in architecture from Universidad Iberoamericana, Mexico, a degree in photography from the Centro Internacional de Fotografía y Cine in Madrid, Spain, and an art diploma from Universidad Iberoamericana, Mexico. Additionally, she holds a master’s degree in Neuroscience Applied to Architectural Design from IUAV in Venice, Italy. Her experience encompasses a range of design scales, including urban planning in Mexico City, medium-scale projects such as hotels and housing, and small-scale designs for mobile medical clinics in Mexico. Alejandra founded A+N STUDIO, an architecture firm in Mexico City that specializes in interior architecture for residential and work environments, as well as public open spaces. The firm’s design approach is informed by a deep engagement with neuroscience, environmental psychology, and art, aiming to create user-centered projects and spaces that are not only functional but also enrich the lived experience.

Alejandra is particularly interested in perception and movement through space, as influenced by the sequence of materiality, light, and proportions that can shape behaviour. She believes that architecture and design should address all aspects of human experience: physical, perceptual, cognitive, social, cultural, and emotional. She looks forward to expanding her practice to consulting and teaching her passion.
