Carlos González Lobo is a widely well-known architect, both in the professional scope as well as the academic one. his capacities have allowed him to develop his profession in multiple aspects. He is a master, doctor, professor, lecturer, contributor, writer, designer and builder. His educational work has taken him not only to be a constant lecturer and promoter of his own work, but also of Mexican architecture. What sets him apart from the other lecturers is mainly his studied oratory, as well as being distinguished by content. For almost all architects, buildings are their speech protagonists. For Carlos his buildings are just means of the speech . It seems that these are excuses to narrate stories that are behind them. The stories of objects are the means, but the purpose is the work of human beings, of the users. His work as a writer is indissolubly bound to his architectonic work. There are different types of writer-architects: investigators, educational, interviewer ones. We are now before an architect-writer who practices the project, particularly in composition, and to whom the magnitude of his work allows him to construct them in a direct way.
