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.

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.

The idea was clear from the outset: to make the building inviting visitors to ling

Amid this fragile situation, an intervention emerged that, beyond addressing the housing emergency, explored the role of architecture as an engine for social reconstruction and rebuilding. Built in just ten days in the province of El Oro, the Chacras project—this 30m² house—became a refuge and starting point for Don Velfor and his family, who found in this new space not only a roof over their heads, but also the opportunity to rebuild bonds, a sense of belonging, and hope.

Where does the similarity between these two disciplines come from? Both cover a need, the shelter of the human body, using garments to cover the skin or physical spaces where the human feels refuge from outer space.
