Alessandro Arienzo


Architect Alessandro Arienzo founded the architecture studio LANZA, along with Isabel Martínez Abascal, in 2015. The Mexico City-based practice insists on calling exhibition design “exhibition architecture,” and approaches its residential and public projects with the same risk-taking approach that they foster with their work in the realm of the gallery and museum.

As part of his work and interest in the scope of architecture, Arienzo explores the different possibilities within architectural practice by developing research and publishing projects as the Housetypes books series.

In 2017, Arienzo was a recipient of the FONCA Young Creators Grant Program. With this grant, he developed an investigation on the Security and Citizen Participation Modules network, whose result became part of San Francisco Museum of Modern Art’s permanent collection in 2018.

Arienzo graduated with honors from the Universidad Iberoamericana with a Master of Architecture degree.
