La Cabina de la Curiosidad

Quito, Ecuador
Founded by Marie Combette and Daniel Moreno Flores, La Cabina de la Curiosidad is a Quito-based practice blending architecture, craft, research, and education. Their work investigates water, territory, and vernacular knowledge through built projects and transdisciplinary collaborations. Recognized by the Swiss Architectural Award (2018, 2020, 2024) and nominated for the Mies Crown Hall Americas Prize, their Chaki Wasi project won the 2024 OBEL Award and ArchDaily’s Building of the Year 2025. They lecture internationally, including at Seoul Design Award, Columbia GSAPP, and BIAU. Their work reflects a deep commitment to locality, ethics, and architecture as a shared cultural act.
