“Architecture does not end with the design; it is defined by the ability to resolve it in reality. Every decision demands an understanding of the structure, the cost, and the construction process, assuming the responsibility of materializing an idea with precision.”
— Benjamín Romano
“A practice where design, engineering, and construction operate as one.”
In his participation in Gigantes de la Construcción, Benjamín Romano reflects on his career and the principles that define the practice of LBR&A. The conversation reveals the firm’s hallmark: an architecture where design, engineering, environmental responsibility, and construction operate inseparably.
Throughout his career, Benjamín Romano has led projects of various scales that demand structural knowledge, process control, and a precise understanding of the urban context. This has allowed the firm to consolidate itself as a strategic partner for its clients, basing every project on informed decisions that integrate structural, economic, sustainable, and urban variables under a logic of efficiency and viability.”
For Benjamín Romano, architecture transcends design; it materializes in construction and is validated through daily use: ‘To achieve success, you have to go and get your shoes dirty, understand the site, and solve problems in the field.’
Under this approach, works such as Torre Reforma, the new terminal at the Puerto Vallarta Airport, Torre Tres Picos, or Torre Chapultepec are part of the same line of thought: resolving complexity through clear systems, resource optimization, and rigorous execution.
