Profile
FR-EE is a global architecture and design practice operating at the intersection of culture, development and technology from offices in New York and Mexico City. Since 2000, FR-EE has built more than 723,000 m²/7,000,000 ft² that address a wide range of public and private initiatives from community education to urban development.
FR-EE’s projects translate contemporary moments of society, context and culture into built form, achieving ground-breaking results through extensive technological advancements, research, and the implementation of green infrastructures.
The concept of translation embodies FR-EE’s mission and philosophy, with the ultimate goal of rendering periods of societal, political and economic transformation into three-dimensional form. Collaboration is central to FR-EE’s design investigation, working closely with clients, policy makers, curators, educators, non-profit entities, developers, engineers, contractors, artists and anthropologists, to ultimately reach comprehensive and innovative solutions. Beyond practicing design, FR-EE orchestrates initiatives aimed at elevating standards of living and education, particularly in Latin America, through research, sports and curation.
