House, Studio, or Spaceship? Agustín Hernández's Most Unusual Work | Praxis House
In the heart of the forest, perched atop a 40-meter ravine in one of Mexico City's most exclusive neighborhoods, stands a structure that seems to defy architectural logic. It's not exactly a house or a conventional studio, but rather a blend of habitable sculpture, futuristic capsule, and brutalist temple. This is Casa Praxis, the workshop and home of legendary Mexican architect Agustín Hernández, built in 1975 as a synthesis of form, function, and sculptural power.

A Contemporary Refuge in León | Gálvez House by Estudio Villagálvez
Amidst the urban dynamism of León, Guanajuato, a house emerges that chooses tranquility over noise, shade over excess, and contemplation over immediacy. Gálvez House, designed by Estudio Villagálvez under the direction of Christian Mauricio Villanueva Gálvez, stands as an architectural response to a saturated context, where the green landscape—scarce yet essential—becomes the starting point for a profoundly human spatial narrative.

A Second Skin as a Second Chance | National Film Archive 21st Century by Rojkind Architects
The intervention at the National Film Archive was not merely a programmatic expansion: it was a commitment to restoring cinema to its status as a public space. Rojkind Arquitectos took a significant but fragmented cultural institution and transformed it into an integrated cultural campus: theaters, an archive, outdoor spaces, a culinary offering, and a covered plaza that serves as a social hub. The idea was clear from the outset: to make the building inviting visitors to ling

Can a Building Teach Us to Be More Human? | Museum of Memory and Tolerance in Mexico City by Arditti + RDT architects
In the vibrant heart of Mexico City, amidst the urban sprawl and the serene echo of the Alameda Central park, stands a building that transcends the definition of a museum. But can a physical space truly transform our vision of the world and the past? The Museum of Memory and Tolerance (MYT) does not merely exhibit objects or narrate events; it was conceived as a bridge between the horrors of history and the promise of a more just future.

From Ruin to Rebirth with Brutalism for the People | SESC Pompéia by Lina Bo Bardi
When SESC (Social Service of Commerce) acquired the land of the old abandoned factory in the Pompéia neighborhood of São Paulo in the 1970s, the intention was clear: to provide a space for the physical and cultural well-being of workers. What was not so clear—even to the managers themselves—was that they would end up creating one of the most powerful works of 20th-century Latin American architecture.

Can a Plaza Heal a City? | Jojutla Central Gardens of MMX
In the center of Jojutla, one of the communities hardest hit by the September 2017 earthquakes, structures now stand that offer not only shade, but dignity. These are the central arches of the Jojutla Gardens, a project born not from the urgency of rebuilding, but from the need to heal.

Brutalism as a Refuge for Memory | Mariano Moreno National Library
Founded in 1810 by Mariano Moreno, the Buenos Aires Public Library was one of the first institutions of the nascent Argentine nation. However, for more than 150 years it did not have its own building. It operated in borrowed spaces, first in the Cabildo, then in the Manzana de las Luces, the Colegio de San Carlos, and even in the building at 564 Mexico Street, where Jorge Luis Borges once lived while he was its director.
