Born in 1924, Agustín Hernández came of age as an architect in Mexico as modernist ideas coalesced with a renewed pride in the country’s past. He was a frontrunner in combining the symbols, myths, and urban planning principles of pre-Columbian civilisations to create imposing architectural monuments that even today retain their avant-garde nature—from the military academy he built as a modern-day Mayan ceremonial ground to the remote meditation centre commissioned by his sister, based on the symbolism of the snake, and the studio-home that he built for himself in 1975: Praxis, a geometric treehouse that still towers over the Bosques de las Lomas neighbourhood of Mexico City. Original photography by Ryan Lowry. Texts by Tezontle Studio & Luis Orozco Madero, Carlota Pérez-Jofre, and Enrique Giner de los Ríos.

Quel est le lien entre éducation indigène et mouvement syndical au Mexique ? Quels rapports entre les conflits politiques, la violence, qui traversent aujourd’hui nombre de configurations locales au Mexique, et les politiques identitaires, culturelles ? Croisant les travaux de l’anthropologie et de la science politique, cet ouvrage propose une analyse des liens entre enseignants, populations locales et État au sein d’une configuration locale mexicaine, Oaxaca. Les « maestros » et les « maestras », opérateurs privilégiés de la médiation culturelle et politique, relais historiques de l’État via l’institution scolaire, occupent au Mexique une position spécifique, cruciale et ambivalente. Cette recherche s’attache à la trame concrète des relations politiques qui les impliquent, entre espaces syndicaux et villageois, mouvements indiens et sphère éducative. Elle apporte ce faisant un éclairage empirique, historique et critique sur la médiation et la politique contestataire au Mexique, constituant un apport aux travaux sur l’État et les dimensions culturelles du politique.

Une monographie sérigraphique sur la sculpture éphémère de Sandra Calvo déconstruisant les concepts de stabilité en architecture : cette publication documente le projet participatif de l’artiste Sandra Calvo (née en 1977) basée à Mexico, qui culmine dans une maquette de maison, construite par une communauté colombienne à l’aide de fils noirs et rouges, repris dans la reliure exposée filée du livre. Sandra Calvo’s Architecture without Architects is a sustained political and aesthetic exploration a visual essay of the informal, unsanctioned city. This participatory social art practice deconstructs the notion of the house as a fixed and stable entity. Here instead, the house is fragile and in flux. Calvo’s project explores the auto-construction as a practice of resistance, in which residents design and construct their dwellings relying on empirical knowledge and intuition, and following a non-hierarchical model. Architecture without Architects culminates in the sculptural simulation of a house, conducted within Ciudad Bolívar, Colombia, where the artist lived inside a community on and off for two years. A house of thread, an agora, an assembly —a device that facilitates the negotiation of antagonistic positions. The artist and the family created a code. Black thread was used to define spaces in which the family had reached a consensus, while red thread represented the spaces they disagreed on. The tangible result of these negotiations is a three-dimensional model built on a 1:1 scale. The model house is both concrete and intangible, poetic, and utilitarian. The flexible sculpture encourages multiple interpretations that extend well beyond the purely practical objectives of architectural design. Arquitectura sin arquitectos de Sandra Calvo retrata la ciudad informalizada a manera de ensayo visual. Proyecto colaborativo a la vez que práctica artística y política, deconstruye la noción de casa que pasa de ser una estructura de concreto, dura y sólida a lo que realmente es: un concepto frágil, en flujo, inestable y de enorme plasticidad. Se explora aquí la autoconstrucción como una práctica de resistencia, un saber adquirido a través de la experiencia y la intuición, que permite a las comunidades diseñar y construir sus propias casas sin seguir modelo jerárquico alguno. El incidente crítico de Arquitectura sin arquitectos es la proposición de un simulacro escultórico arquitectónico a una familia de Ciudad Bolívar, Colombia; comunidad donde la artista vivió durante dos años. La construcción de una casa de hilo, un ágora, una asamblea —un dispositivo que facilita la negociación de posturas antagónicas. Junto con la familia se ideó un código: con hilo negro se trazaron los espacios consensuados; con rojo los espacios en discordia. El resultado es un dibujo tridimensional transitable a escala real. La casa como un modelo tangible e intangible, poético y utilitario; una escultura flexible que propicia diversas lecturas capaces de desbordar la finalidad práctica de la proyección arquitectónica.

Tropical coastal lagoon environments provide a number of ecosystem services, but are threatened by the pressure imposed by human activities and climatic change; these systems are particularly vulnerable because of a high demographic growth. Therefore, the understanding of their ecological behavior and the characterization of lagoon health indicators have attained importance. Under this perspective Mexican (UAM-X) and French (UMRs MIO and MARBEC) researchers have collaborated from 2011 to 2014 as part of one action of the international exchange program ECOS/ANUIES, and chose the Sontecomapan lagoon (at the Mexican state of Veracruz) as a case study. This book provides information of the ecological behavior, water quality indicators, and details of microorganisms and plankton, which due to their short life cycles and their high reactivity to environmental conditions are good.
