Campus central CU. Lecturas de un patrimonio vivo is a collection of 19 booklets documenting the history of the buildings that make up the original campus of UNAM’s Ciudad Universitaria.
To mark the 10th anniversary of the central campus's inscription on the UNESCO World Heritage list in 2017, a team of young architects, thesis candidates, and students from UNAM undertook the task of researching and exploring the history of these buildings throughout their more than sixty years of existence. Written from a contemporary perspective, these compiled essays aim to share the value of CU with younger generations while contributing to the historiographical body of work surrounding modern Mexican architecture.
