In our unit trip with AA students (Inter Unit 8) we visited the Universidad Iberoamericana, where students presented their work to a group of architects, academics and experts in urban Mexico City: Diego Ricalde, Jose Luis Cortes, Humberto Ricalde, Tatiana Bilbao and Derek Dellerkamp.
Several issues were discussed , such as the problems of social and physical segrgacion generated by public transportation, the possibilities for an urbanism based on everyday items such as the taverns, the conflict generated by the flea with the privatization of commercial sites and the relationship between different cultural traditions in relation to the subject of death. The debate ended with a presentation by the student Elelni Tzavellou on the absence of democratic space in the city of Mexico.
Thanks to all students, guest critics and tutors, and specially to Diego Ricalde who organized the event.
