In this book, the author gathers one of the most complex architectonic composition
genres of Abraham Zabludovskys’ work. Housing proposals and solutions go from
single-family houses to condominium buildings passing through medium scale social housing complexes. Far from being a recipe book, this publication pretends to
ease formal and functional solutions, working as a reference book for architects and
students.

Augusto Álvarez’s workshop was one of the most important architecture firms in
Mexico during the second half of the twentieth century; it was distinguished by its
professionalism, solidity, continuity and, above all, time work. Rationality, modulation, the development of detail, the use of simple forms without formal excesses
and the application of adequate proportions distinguished its architecture in the
forties. Drawing was an invaluable tool in the prefiguration of the building and its
parts since projects were developed down to the smallest detail.

In 1954 the construction of the new headquarters of the Universidad Nacional
Autónoma de Mexico was finished. Today after six decades, it has been declared
World Heritage by UNESCO thanks to its extraordinary combination between landscape, city, architecture and plastic arts. This urban complex of almost inexplicable
measures for its time has been the melting pot of the scientific thought in Mexico.
The country’s social and historical changes of the past six decades can be registered
in its history.

moment in Mexican architecture from a unique perspective. This book identifies
and analyzes three sixteenth century buildings constructed in the Oaxacan Mixteca
covered with complex ribbed vaults. Using digital technologies, professor Benjamín
Ibarra Sevilla addresses the challenge of representing and explaining the details and
intricacies applied in the design, development, and construction of the lush vaults
and in the stone pieces that form them. Benjamín Ibarra Sevilla was recipient of the
University of Texas, Creative Research Excellence Award in 2014 for this work.

group goals became many and continuous achievements. This edition offers an approach to the most authentic ways to conceive this Mexican architecture, a logical
way of thinking it that exceeds the specific vocabulary of forms to reinterpret with a
personal signature the signs of history, life and space.

This publication gathers for the first time more than fifty years of disciplined compromise towards architecture. His works such as banks, deputations, museums, schools
and corporates have contributed to define the urban tissue in most parts of the city
and the country, through a concept of monumentality and timelessness. His texts
insert throughout the book just as his icons do in the city.

thought on architecture over six decades. Architect, urban planner, painter and
sculptor, his career is crucial in defining Mexican architecture on the second half of
the twentieth century and early twenty first century. This third edition, modified and

The “Golden Age” of shell construction in Mexico had a clearly defined period: form
the beginning of the fifties to the mid sixties. Fifteen years in which the “Mexican
miracle” was produced: the transformation of an agricultural country into a modern
one, all trough an intense process of industrialization. Along came the construction
of thousands of square meters of roof structures made of laminar reinforced concrete. The advantages offered by these covers, which gave a new physiognomy to
industrial architecture, allowed their use in other genres, such as religious, recreational, hospital or educational architecture.

A great work is the product of many efforts and wills that converge together. It is a
summary, a mirror that reflects culture, history and society’s situation that gave it
life. It is an evidence of planning, an act of conscious design that cares about functionality. The Terminal 2 of the Benito Juarez International Airport in Mexico City will
be recognized as an outstanding architectural work, its execution needed the impulse of the authorities, the talent and determination of hundreds of professionals
formed in Mexican classrooms and of thousands of hands that with different tools
wielded the construction force.

BITÁCORA 26//ARQUITECTURA, PAISAJE Y ESPACIO PÚBLICO
The selected topic for this number was Landscape and Public Space. Some of the
articles included here were developed after the collective action of the 8th National Congress of Landscape Architecture and the 3rd. Congress about Public Space
“Transformations; Everyday Landscape, Landscapes for Life”, that was held this year
in the School of Architecture at UNAM. We included texts that display the ideas exchanged in a multidisciplinary and collaborative spirit to understand our environment.

BITÁCORA 27//ARCHITECTURE, CITY & MEDIA /
BITÁCORA 27//ARQUITECTURA, CIUDAD Y MEDIOS
In this issue of Bitácora, the theme " mass media, architecture and the city" allows
us to explore the importance of mass media in our disciplines ( architecture, planning, industrial design and landscape architecture). Reflecting upon this theme and
its possible outcomes forces us to rethink many things that we usually consider ordinary. Profound changes originated with the invention of mechanical printing; this
was the moment when -for the first time- information and knowledge that had until
then been limited only to a few, was accesible to a greater amount of people. Later
on, along with modernity, the definitive incorporation of media and its influence
on everyday experience triggered a more radical shift; not only did we have at our
disposal novel representation tools, but the way we saw the world changed, and the
world itself was changed by the media.
Avant-garde showed us many of these changes in the artistic realm. But architecture, being in a closer contact with reality, absorbed all these changes in a more
disregarded way.

BITÁCORA 28//ARCHITECTURE, CITY & DARKNESS /
BITÁCORA 28//ARQUITECTURA, CIUDAD Y OSCURIDAD
Inquire about the darkness forces us to pay attention to that half of our existence
which we often overlook. We are asleep –or stunned in a world of artificial lighting
that attempts to recreate daylight– most of that time in which our world experiences
thousands of climatic, physical and chromatic variations. Much of the research on
our cities, architecture and landscape –but also on other sciences of knowledge –
focus on the world experienced during daylight. We often that to know something is
to see it in the light, that those things that we do not see are those which we cannot
really know.
Le Corbusier said in the early twenties: "Architecture is the learned game, correct
and magnificent, of forms assembled in the light". Following this assumption, we
could then understand that there is no architecture at night, or that in a world without artificial lighting, architecture would depended on the moonlight to exist, but
again, it would disappear in moonless nights.

BITÁCORA 29//ARCHITECTURE, CITY & LIGHT /
BITÁCORA 29//ARQUITECTURA, CIUDAD Y LUZ
From XIX century onwards the effervescence produced by technological development made itself clear in Western culture. The creation of new theories, devises,
systems and artifacts, all of them illuminated by the light of Science, redefined collective imaginary with a new perspective of society’s environment and reality. In this
context, light –always present in Human Kinds’ history – was theorized, manipulated and rethought as one of the main subjects of the formal discourse of Western culture. Representations and social forms, along with its architecture and cities, were
never the same again. Under the light of such ideas as progress, welfare, hygiene,
security –sometimes used correctly, sometimes manipulated for the worse, but always present throughout modernity– architecture, city planning and design have
played a decisive part in this development.
