Born on February 29, 1924, Agustin Hernandez Navarro is an architect from Mexico City. His father was a politician and three of his siblings are also architects and one sister, Amalia Hernandez, is a choreographer. Although he desired to pursue engineering, his mother insisted he become an architect as his older brother had done. This insistence led to the emergence of an inspiring architect.
Hernandez draws his inspiration from past history, indigenous peoples, working with combinations of materials. Rather than binding his buildings to the earth, they seem to float effortlessly in the air. He has used angular as well as curvaceous formats for his structures. Agustin Hernandez Navarro is said to be "an architect for the future rather than the past".
He states that his architecture "unites structure, form and function" just as nature does.
