Ludwig Godefroy is an architect from Mexico who was born in France. His architectural attention goes back and forth between the two countries, the one where he was born and the one where he works and lives. Mexico, in particular, was a major source of inspiration. He forged a tender and loving bond with the country. In 2011, he established his eponymous studio Ludwig Godefroy Architecture here.

Ludwig Godefroy studied architecture in Paris and previously worked for the following architecture firms: Leeser Architecture in New York, Enric Miralles/Benedetta Tagliabue in Barcelona, OMA/Rem Koolhaas in Rotterdam and Tatiana Bilbao in Mexico City.

Ludwig Godefroy is fond of the word "harmony". In his opinion, he believes that everyone has his own subjective view of architecture, but maintaining harmony is a remarkable intersection of things and a source of surprise. For Ludwig Godefroy, it is often the starting point for a project. At the same time, this is what makes the architectural work unique, based on the sensitivity, curiosity, emotion and history of the building.

For Ludwig Godefroy, time is the way to test the true nature of architecture. The sheen that emerges from the surface of the building over time is what architects are after. They look for authenticity and simplicity in architecture, and over time, all the skin fades and ages, but becomes more beautiful and realistic rather than damaged. Architecture is supposed to get rid of the unnecessary and focus on the essence of the structure, where architecture can provide a contemporary reinterpretation of vernacular meaning.
