Karina Lozano

Karina Lozano is an architect and design consultant, based in Monterrey, Mexico. She graduated from UANL in 1999 and is certified in Neuroscience, Architecture, and Urbanism at Newschool of Architecture and Design. Karina spent some years in Asian countries and did apprenticeships of design in Malaysia and China, resulting in a respectful and multi-cultural understanding of the interrelations among human beings and environment, that fueled a curiosity still present today.

She has worked since 2001 in her firm Arquitectura Entorno Energía, which aims to integrate a personalized, humanistic, evidence-based approach in every project. She has been invited to speak in Mexico, US, Chile, Argentina, Brazil, Ecuador, Colombia and China.

In the national scene she has coordinated forums to encourage evidence-based urban design policies with the participation of the mayor, the coordinator of the national senate in housing, the state senator in urbanism, neuroscientists, architects and urban planners. She is currently involved in an initiative aligned to these goals with the government of Nuevo León, where she lives. She co-created the Institute of Neuroscience for Architecture and Design in Mexico, INPAD. Karina has been a regular contributor for the last 20 years in the Real Estate section of Reforma, the main newspaper in Mexico.
