Ricardo de Jesús Maga Rojas, Assoc. AIA
Recipient, AIA 2021 Associate Award

Growing up in Cuba, Ricardo de Jesús Maga Rojas, Assoc. AIA, NOMA, met just one architect when enrolled in his high school’s drafting magnet program. Since then, he has yet to meet an architect of African descent and Cuban heritage, an absence that fuels his dream to become a licensed architect and reshape the profession to be more reflective of him and other architects of color. Through his leadership and boundless enthusiasm, Rojas plays a significant role in igniting needed change in his chapter, firm, and the city of Austin.
