Gerardo Salinas, AIA, is a partner at Mexico City–
based Rojkind Arquitectos, a firm that delves into
the relationship among materials, structure, and
geography. His projects include the National Film
Archive and Film Institute of Mexico, for which
he carved a multi-use public space out of a dense
urban landscape, and the Liverpool Department
Store expansion (covered in ARCHITECT’s June

interacts with Mexico City’s streetscape.
Salinas previously worked at Anderson
Mason Dale Architects in Denver, and Ellerbe
Becket (now an AECOM company) in Washington,
D.C. In 2008, he was named Young Architect of
the Year by the AIA Denver chapter. He has an
M.Arch. from the University of Maryland.

at a sailboat manufacturer and established
the building-focused Kreysler & Associates in
American Canyon, Calif. The digital fabrication

from fiber-reinforced polymers and composites.
The company’s projects include the sail-like

Harbor Islands Pavilion, with its sculptural,
cast-in-place canopies; the project garnered accolades
