About 

Hello,

I'm Javier Adrián García Loza, an Architect with a passion for sustainable and innovative architectural solutions. Graduating from the Instituto Tecnológico de Tijuana in 2017 with a specialization in Operational Project Management, my career began by leading diverse teams in Tijuana, advancing through hands-on project execution to strategic preconstruction planning at SEICA in Mexico City. This journey laid the groundwork for my adeptness in managing complex architectural projects and fostering team excellence.

My pursuit of academic and professional growth led me to a Master's in Architecture at UNAM, focusing on city and territory. Supported by the National Council of Science and Technology, this experience deepened my insight into architectural development challenges and sustainable practices. Returning to Tijuana, I've continued to impact the architectural landscape as a co-founder of Loza Ramos Arquitectura and as a professor at the Instituto Tecnológico de Tijuana. In these roles, I blend innovative design with practical research, inspiring students and clients alike toward creative solutions for residential and commercial spaces.

Collaborating with renowned architect Héctor Osuna Jaime has been a highlight, aligning with my commitment to enhancing our city's architectural integrity. My areas of interest extend to the history of cities, urbanization, cross-border development, and sustainable mobility, informing my approach to projects that are as functional as they are aesthetically pleasing.

Beyond architecture, I find expression in architectural photography and music, channels that fuel my creativity and connection to the world around me.

Let's connect to explore innovative collaborations that drive sustainable and impactful architectural development.

When I started working in this position I was in charge of resuming projects that were put in stand by because there was no one who could attend them. Later, I started creating and defining workflow processes for the new preconstruction department, so that new projects would be better organize from the beginning and all the way through design development. After that, the necessity of creating a tactical plan was urgent in order to properly found the preconstruction department area.
