What is your name, current location, and current occupation?
My name is Liz Gálvez. I currently live in Brooklyn. I run an experimental architecture firm focused on developing new relationships to our surrounding material and climatic environments that is based between New York City and Michocán, Mexico. I also teach as a faculty member at The Yale School of Architecture.

What are you doing today?
Today, I am preparing a course syllabus for my upcoming Seminar at Yale SoA: (Im)material Artifacts: Matters, Environments, and their Techniques. I have a virtual meeting with a fellow MIT Alum, as we are collaborating on a project that looks at Collective Comfort in relationship to heat insecurity in Desert Environments, especially in the Southwest of the United States. Afterwards, I hope to devote some time to my practice, where I am in the design-development phase for an experimental home or ‘casa de campo’ in La Tuna Manza in Michoacan. There are minimal weather extremes in this region of the world and for those reasons there are few mechanical systems incorporated into the architecture there, yet one can still experience discomfort at various peaks in the winter and summer weather. The house develops the concept of the hearth to create warmth within the home, while allowing for passive ventilation through this thick and massive center. I had the opportunity to travel to the site over the winter break to learn more about the building phases as well as the materials and methods that are available in this region of the world, and I am working on incorporating those metrics into the design.
