Learning from... Mexico City
Arturo Ortiz Struck describes the boundaries of formal and legal building in the context of Mexico:“In order to build a critical view of the production of space and architecture in this environment, we should start from two fundamental premises.

Project
AP164.S1.2003.D7
Description:
The project series documents Abalos & Herreros’ entry for an open competition for the national library José Vasconcelos, Mexico city, Mexico. The firm identified this project as number 170. “The central library is a county’s visible deposit for its culture, a legacy to the future; contemplating al [sic] periods of a culture in a holistic and integrated way crosses historic earas [sic] and puts human memory in relation to geological time, a substrate which shelters and protects human life. [The] library will establish this dialogue by anchoring in the site, the city and the country by basic gesture putting the geologic substrate, the lagoon and the volcanos which construct and nourish the earth as a relief. A lagoon perforated by seven craters composes the germlike landscape which starts the projects, giving us a first drawing which transforms the space almost into a lake of waterlilies.” (ARCH270975) Documenting the project are conceptual drawings, competition documents, resumes, correspondence and a map.

Project
El Toreo, Mexico
AP144.S2.D58
Description:
File documents a project for the conversion of El Toreo, a bullring located in Mexico City, Mexico, into an adaptable entertainment venue, and includes plans and partial sections of the stadium, prepared by the engineering firm DIRAC. Textual records show that apart from the initial contact it is unlikely that Price was involved with the project. Material in this file was produced between 1964 and 1965. The drawings were produced by Dirac, Ingenieros Consultores and are stamped with Price's office stamp. File contains reference drawings and textual records.
