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.

Casa Lorena was part of an early 20th-century mansion. Over time, and due to urban development, the land was subdivided until it was reduced to a quarter of its original size. What was once colonial spaciousness was now a narrow, deep plot, squeezed between party walls. The architects at Workshop, Diseño y Construcción decided not to erase, but to reveal. Not to deny history, but to reinterpret it.

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?
