Studio

Founded in 2013, Jorge Urias Studio is an interdisciplinary practice based in New York City and Ciudad Juarez, Mexico that brings together architecture, art and design in a single workspace. The studio is characterized by its methodology and its rigorous work process to produce an original design that meets the spirit of the brief, and responds with the program and the site, in an inventive way. This procedure is independent of scale, and the same system of research and experimentation is used in the creation of objects, buildings and developments.
