Sofia Nava y Jaime Peña - Memoria (20'18")

A fairy tale couple. Jaime and Sofia are an example of learning to live in harmony with nature. As well as learning to recognize its rhythms, the connection with the universe and the knowledge of life itself. Sofia, granddaughter of the doctor, politician and emblematic activist of San Luis Potosí: Salvador Nava, resumed the heroic essence of her grandfather, updating her soul of opposition to fighting current social problems, finding solutions and focusing on promoting and empowering the artisan people. Sofia has worked for projects like World by Hand, in Tulum. Connecting artisan treasures with people who see their value and teaching them to contemplate the essence of each of these. Jaime for his part, Colombian by birth, opened the studio Arquitectura Mixta, as an example of the possibilities of building through coherence with the knowledge of the earth, nature. Becoming a reference in the world of Bioarchitecture and construction methodologies, building through the understanding of nature, collaborative projects and collective work, the base of the identity of the origin and spaces that seem from another world, representing the essence of East. They are the type of people that the planet requires, to that the connection between human beings, the existence of the universe and the health of the planet itself be healed.
