TEDDY CRUZ ::::
born in 1962, Guatemala city, Guatemala
lives and works in San Diego

Engaging and responding to the urbanization process along the Mexican/American border, Cruz works in San Diego.  He and his studio Estudio Teddy Cruz (established in 1993), explore the bicultural territory between Tijuana and San Diego, integrating research, theory, and design production to create architecture, interiors, furniture, installations, public art, and landscape interventions.  He searches for architectural and urban planning solutions for global political and social problems that exist on international border zones.  He intends to recontextualize the globalization process by processing more hybrid and flexible landscapes.
