Mexican Architect Javier Senosiain

                While watching HGTV, in the Travel channel, I was introduced to a Mexican architect whose work I actually have seen and posted on this blog... but I have to admit I never really researched more projects he has done, HGTV showed a house he designed called "The Whale House" or "Casa la Ballena" in Mexico City, the house is an organic structure in the shape of a whale that seems to swim in the grassy surroundings of its garden. The architect is Javier Senosiain, he is a professor in the National Autonomous University of Mexico(UNAM), his work is extremely whimsical and it reminds me of the indeginous artisan work typical of Mexico. 


The buildings are colorful and covered with distinct textures of colorful tiles and concrete; one of the Mexican artisan work that this buildings remind me of are the colorful folk art sculptures of Alebrijes (pictures on the left and below this text).









The Beautiful work of the Hiochol art of beading is used in one of Senosiain's recidential buildings as texture of the exterior facade.






 Beautiful work that combines with nature, reminding the human of its natural origins and honoring Mexican traditions and art work makes Senosiains architectural designs amazing and original. 

here is the link to the architects webpage, I am not sure if it is his real website or some fan that created it... its not the coolest of webdesign but Senosiain's work is worth seeing:
