Carlos Bedoya is a Mexico City–based architect and cofounder of the architectural studio Productora. The studio has been involved in projects in Mexico and around the world, ranging from residential projects to public buildings. Its work has been presented at the architectural biennials of Beijing, Venice, and Chicago; in the National Art Museum of China, and in London’s Victoria and Albert Museum.
