This allows the current generation to address the new challenges posed by this global crisis and to adapt attitudes and behaviors across different fields and areas of work, ultimately aiming to shape better environments that foster resilient communities.

In the mid-eighties, the advertising campaigns for the Benetton brand—under the art direction of Oliviero Toscani—provided an iconic image for the coexistence of different races and, in doing so, for the very idea of diversity. In 2000, an image created by Polish designer Piotr Mlodozeniec spelled out the word "CoeXisT," with the "C" replaced by a Muslim crescent, the "X" by the Star of David—a Jewish symbol—and the "T" by the Latin cross representing Christianity. Through these images, the concept of coexistence became associated with tolerance, serving as a counterpoint to both racism and religious fundamentalism.

‘Palimpsest Barragan’ offers a unique opportunity to engage closely with a masterpiece of 20th-century modernist architecture. The work of architect Luis Barragán, a hidden and as-yet-unrecognized gem nestled in the paradisiacal jungle on the Pacific coast, presents itself as the ruins of an unfinished building that has faded into obscurity. Much like pre-Hispanic pyramids in Mexico, it is currently in a state of progressive decay.

Taller Ciudad focuses on understanding and analyzing the city through various eras and perspectives. We will review and discuss texts by Italo Calvino, Hannah Arendt, Jane Jacobs, and Juan Villoro.
