Michel Rojkind
As a Mexico City native, Rojkind founded his firm, Rojkind Arquitectos, there in 2002, focusing on design, tactical, and experiential innovation. His vision has always been to go beyond functionality to create integral experiences, connecting the intricacies of each project at a deeper level to positively impact society and the environment, which aligns seamlessly with WeWork’s design ethos. Rojkind’s first project with The We Company is a 200,000 sq. ft. building in Bentonville, Arkansas, which is one of the company’s first ground-up projects; groundbreaking scheduled for early 2020.
Michel Rojkind’s design for the Nestlé Chocolate Museum, Toluca, Mexico was awarded the International Architecture Award (2008) as one of the best realized designs around the world in 2007, and was nominated for the British Museum Award (2008) for the ten best buildings of 2007. He has contributed to Contemporary Corporate Architecture (2009), Phaidon Atlas of 21st Century Architecture (2009) and Open House: Architecture and Technology for Intelligent Living.
