AZ Awards 2026 EMERGING Honourable Mention: Palma

The work of Palma moves between “permanent and temporary architecture, engaging domestic, civic and experimental scales with equal rigour.” Ilse Cárdenas, Regina de Hoyos and Diego Escamilla founded the firm, based in Mexico City and Sayulita, in 2016 with an eye toward making this duality a central focus. Among its most fascinating projects is Types of Spaces, an ephemeral installation developed for the Concéntrico architecture festival in Logroño, Spain; it occupies the narrow passage of the former tobacco factory of La Rioja with a series of brickwork facades. Another project is a contribution to PILARES, the small-scale community centres developed by Mexico City to provide social, educational and cultural infrastructure to local neighbourhoods.
