Lecture Series

The early 20th century in Mexico was marked by a series of social, cultural, and political transformations. European neoclassical artistic influences began to be heavily questioned, and muralism—adopted by the government as a strategy to educate the Mexican people—began to incorporate new narratives, including indigenous and ancestral cultures, while celebrating the revolutionary process.
Collaborative practices between artists and architects intensified during this period. This course seeks to explore and discuss the intersections between art and architecture from 1910 to 1979, based on the work of key figures from this era: Juan O'Gorman and Diego Rivera (1920s–1930s); Mario Pani and Carlos Mérida (the construction of the University City and plastic integration in the 1940s–1950s); Luis Barragán and Mathias Goeritz (1940s–1950s); and Pedro Ramírez Vázquez and La Ruta de la Amistad (1968), concluding with the Espacio Escultórico (1979).

Architects and Designers: Have you ever asked yourself how to win more work, how to leave behind unprofitable, ineffective marketing methods, how to level up your design firm, and to say yes to more fulfilling work...?

If so, sign up now to our free three online sessions of our Business of Design series and hear firsthand from Archmark, ING Media and MVRDV their tips to enable architects and designers to become better managers, business developers, and entrepreneurs.

Lasting for over a year, the COVID pandemic has considerably changed the way we work. It has given a new meaning to “physical distance” and forced us to confront questions we can no longer ignore. It has crystallized the dormant social inequities we had known for years and yet somehow neglected. In response practitioners and educators have begun mobilizing themselves to confront questions and issues that lie in the pandemic’s wake. Their activities vary, from the micro architecture of the hand-held devices to the macro of global communities. They employ methods, from rapid prototyping, guerilla gardening to real time geolocational data analysis. They work in new patterns of collaboration, from medical professionals, policy makers to social activists.

Discover the critical role women have played in the development of modern architecture in this six-week in-person course.
