Architecture, like any discipline, develops its theory through words; yet, it is equally capable of thinking in images. When Renaissance humanists began to set forth their knowledge of the art of building in treatises, they tended to combine words and illustrations. In fact, some of the most celebrated treatises resemble visual atlases more than written volumes. But how can an image develop a theory? The theoretical fertility of the image emerges, almost by surprise, if we replace the modern conception of "theory" with the genuine meaning of the Greek term theoria: the act of "contemplation" and "speculation," of developing a "vision."
What if we all, as urban travelers, came together to talk and build? This is the goal of this theoretical-practical workshop: to join forces on an experimental journey to build common spaces within the city.
'Soy de Azteca' is a photographic project by Zaickz Moz that seeks to rethink expressions of community and identity in the periphery of Mexico City, which is becoming increasingly diffuse and spilling beyond its geographical boundaries. The project aims to re-examine how community and identity are expressed by the residents of Ciudad Azteca (State of Mexico) within private, public, and urban spaces. Through a photographic series, it addresses themes such as the appropriation and modification of living spaces, urban development, and the sense of community in the Ciudad Azteca neighborhood.
