The second edition of the What Design Can Do festival in Mexico City at the Ángela Peralta (open-air) theater is almost here! Join the global community of creatives who are moving the world on October 28th and 29th.

In the context of the ambitious project Satellite City in the outskirts of Mexico City, led by architect Mario Pani in the mid-20th century, Luis Barragán received from Pani the commission to make a fountain in 1958 that would serve as a distinctive motif of the entrance through the main road access to the master plan.

The renowned Mexican architect, together with the sculptor Mathias Goeritz, projected five concrete towers, with a triangular plan and different colors and heights, reaching up to 52 meters (170 feet). The towers are totally sculptural and the authors expected they could stand out viewed even from afar and in motion.

The Rammed Earth Construction Workshop stems from a desire to create a unique space for approaching, exploring, and sharing techniques for rammed earth construction. The workshop is entirely self-managed and collaborative, organized by three architects with diverse perspectives on spatial production and bio-construction.
