“Digital Baroque” Soumaya Museum is an architectural wonder
Telecom magnate Carlos Slim’s son-in-law, Fernando Romero is quite an architect we hear. He is a star in the Mexico’s architectural community and has won several praises in international design competitions. He is currently working on Mexico City’s Soumaya Museum which is funded by his father-in-law. The curvaceous edifice features very complex, undulating geometries which is made possible by CAD. Romero is working with engineering firm Ove Arup, who helped erect the Sydney Opera House as well as the Beijing Olympics’ Bird Nest and Water Cube Structures.
Check out his other enterprises after the jump.
