VISITS AROUND EL PREDREGAL
CASA ESTUDIO MAX CETTO
With Julián Arroyo Cetto
El Pedregal, a huge territory of harsh nature, splendid, but for thousands of years evaded, uninhabited and even devalued, was the scene of the flourishing of incredible gardens and notable projects of modern Mexican architecture. There, a migrant couple and their family became one of the first settlers of Jardines del Pedregal at the end of the 1940s. In this fourth visit of Parallel Landscapes, we invite you to visit the Max Cetto’s Home – Studio, the first house in Jardines del Pedregal de San Ángel, designed by the German architect Max Cetto, in which he projects a synthesis of modernity, tradition, daring, experience and experimentation with the natural environment.
In the last two decades, the house housed various inhabitants and even institutions seeking to adapt to its time. Currently, it is inhabited by its original family, who also seek its preservation, keeping alive the ideals and precepts of Max Cetto. In this tour led by Julián Arroyo Cetto, architect, grandson of Max Cetto and current inhabitant of the house, you will be able to learn not only the architectural aspects of this project, but also the daily and domestic life that has occurred and created in that house. house in the more than 70 years of its history.
