The emphasis will be the city's historic, inward-facing housing typologies, studying how these traditional housing-based urban patterns balanced private living with shared spaces.

Specifically, I will be focused on”

• Pedestrian reclamation of existing infrastructure/public realm. CDMX has great examples of human-scaled streets, open plazas, and bike lanes that navigate vehicular congestion in its dense central districts

• Traditional urban form such as:

  • linear tenements (La Vecindad)

  • courtyard structures (Patio Central), and

  • pedestrian cul-de-sacs (La Privada).

I will also be examining contemporary infill work throughout the city to see how modern architects adapt these historic precedents today.

I look forward to sharing these experiences with you, and I intend for this experience to generate fresh insights that will reflect directly back into our work.
