The publication features the outlet’s first double cover as “an unprecedented event for Forbes Uruguay” and highlights both architects’ involvement in large-scale projects in the United States.

Among the examples highlighted by Forbes is JPMorgan’s new global headquarters in New York, a project in which Robert and Carriquiry were involved. The publication also notes their involvement in hundreds of developments across 40 of the 50 U.S. states.

Forbes describes these projects as developments on “enormous scale” and featuring “a highly technological component”. That relationship between architecture and technology is also part of the history of /slantis as presented by the publication.
Architecture and Technology from /slantis
/slantis was co-founded by Andy Robert and Mercedes Carriquiry; it is a technology company that worked for Google, YouTube, and Apple, among other companies, and links its development to a global vision and the ability to showcase a Uruguayan company to the world.
The School of Architecture had already discussed Robert’s career in August 2025. At that time, a news item about his contributions to publications by El País introduced /slantis as a company that integrates architectural design and technology for the U.S. market.
