School of Architecture, Art and Design at Tecnológico de Monterrey
In 2026, Tecnológico de Monterrey celebrates the 80th anniversary of its Architecture program.

The ground we walk on is composed of layers of history buried over time: infrastructures, vegetation, animals, and human beings who inhabited these territories form a collection of sedimented layers and historical deposits that combine with geological layers from deep time. This interrelation between the artificial and the geological is especially evident in the forgotten infrastructures buried beneath our cities. How can we unearth both the memory and the material evidence of these? And what does this tell us about what we have collectively forgotten?
