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.

ART & ARCHITECTURE DERIVES

The garden as an extension of nature

A conversation with Tonatiuh Martínez | Taller de Paisaje Entorno

Within any architectural, housing or urban approach, an environment is always present: a mixture of material, natural, climatic or symbolic aspects that are linked to each other. Landscape architecture projects make buildings and nature coexist and find a real and functional connection. There are gardens that produce aromas, disorganized or minimalist gardens, gardens with microfauna or gardens where architecture is not present, but how to generate atmospheres and sensations of nature with a landscape linked to an architectural project or without it? What aspects are taken into account to ensure that an open space or a garden has the necessary elements so that it relates and links as much as possible with the daily reality of its environment and its nature?

In this Derive we will explore the processes carried out by the Taller de Paisaje Entorno, a landscape architecture office located in Mexico City and formed by an interdisciplinary team of architects, landscapers and artisans, who are dedicated to design, development, execution and advice on landscape projects at an architectural, urban and regional scale. From the hand of its founder, Tonatiuh Martínez, we will learn how it was possible to develop landscape projects in places with particular characteristics and needs, taking into account the site program, orientation, views, complementary information such as background of the place, photos and documents that They feed back the criteria to resolve a proposal. Taller de Paisaje Entorno has been behind some projects such as the conservation of the scree of the Museo Universitario Arte Contemporáneo (MUAC), the Vasconcelos Library open garden, the restoration project of the stone and native landscape of the Anahuacalli Museum that they carried out in collaboration with Mauricio Rocha , the rescue of the scree at Casa Pedregal by Luis Barragán, or the installation Modthern Nature by Gabriela Galván in Arte Abierto.

Arte Abierto continues with its new public program Derivas de Arte y Arquitectura (Art & Architecture Derives), which seeks to renew our gaze on the architectural legacy of Mexico City. From a series of talks focused on rescuing the parallel stories of emblematic architectural projects and public spaces that have witnessed the variable intersection between art and architecture. In this first stage, the program deals mainly with modern architecture, based on a series of talks given by invited curators, architects, artists and urban planners.

With this program, ways of returning to architecture part of its public, experiential, collective character and close to those of us who inhabit the city are tested, recognizing in it its condition as a living archive. From these talks, circumstances, contexts and anecdotes are revealed that have been part of his sensitive memory and that complement his material memory, a relationship that often escapes documentary narratives and academic accounts.

The objective of the drifts is to generate experiences of spatial rediscovery, which allow us to renew our gaze on the legacy of certain emblematic architectural and artistic works, as well as those that have been forgotten.

The derives will be carried out free of charge on the last Saturday of each month, at 1:00 p.m. with a limited capacity.

VISITS AROUND EL PREDREGAL

THE ROUTE OF FRIENDSHIP

With Proyecto Esculturas Experimentales and Luis Javier de la Torre

The Route of Friendship, pdesigned by Mathias Goertiz with the support of Architect Pedro Ramírez Vázquez, is the largest sculpture corridor in the world. In its 17 km. long, there are 19 stations (sculptures) built in concrete that were made by artists from the five continents. In this way, modern art took to the streets as a path of geometries and colors. At some point, it was completely abandoned for 25 years during which it faced damage from rapid urban growth. Since 1994, the Board of Trustees of The Route of Friendship Ltd. has dedicated itself to saving the Route, with the fundamental idea being a thorough restoration that considers not only the sculptures themselves, but also their surroundings.

This guided tour by Proyecto Escrituras Experimentales aims to explore two key sculptures from The Route of Friendship in Pedregal: SCULPTURE 13. Articulated Wall by Herbert Bayer, Austria, and SCULPTURE 7. Man of Peace, by Constantino Nivola , Italy. We will investigate the layers of time gathered at the site, from the potential of the surrounding ecosystem to the current recovery of the spaces with which the door to the return of nature is opened. Taking body perception as a starting point, we will enter the sites to test the possibilities of experimental writing and create a collective text that will be integrated into the public space. During the visit, we will be accompanied by Luis Javier de la Torre, president of the The Route of Friendship Ltd.

PROYECTO ESCRITURAS EXPERIMENTALES (PEEX)
An independent collective of artistic and pedagogical curation, formed in 2020, in Mexico City, by curators, writers, educators and artists Cristina Torres and Christian Fajardo. Their practice takes as its starting points the intersections between contemporary art, critical mediation and experimental writing, to investigate, exhibit and promote the proposals and imagination of artists, educators and writers, women, non-binary people and the LGBT+ community who expand their fields of action from experimentation. In October 2022, they inaugurated a project space to present a curatorial program of exhibitions, workshops and talks in the historic Romita neighborhood of Mexico City, taking as its headquarters the space that for decades housed a printing press’s workshop.
