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.

ART & ARCHITECTURE DERIVES

Jardines del Pedregal Legacy: Memory and Identity

A conversation with Arturo Rivera García and Roberto Bustamante Castrejón

In a Mexico City that does not stop growing, the Jardines del Pedregal Legacy emerges as a cultural diffusion project about the architecture, landscape and history of El Pedregal to raise awareness about the cultural and artistic value of its buildings and the neighborhood. It is also a search to share with its inhabitants the cultural importance of the houses they inhabit, together with their volcanic rock gardens.

In this Derive we will be able to learn more about this project which has reactivated local identity and memory, from a photographic exhibition and document reprography, and the creation of a digital archive that, in addition to collecting historical information from professional archives and of original families of the community, contemplates the documentation and registration of plans and current photographs of the buildings and gardens that continue to exist with a significant degree of conservation. At the same time, this archive is also carrying out records of contemporary buildings that reinterpret the modern architecture with which the subdivision was built and characterized.

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.

ART & ARCHITECTURE DERIVES

The eco-aesthetics of El Pedregal and the constructive botany in Mexico megacity

A conversation with Peter Krieger

With the participation of Juan José Kochen

This talk explores the urban-natural and artistic-architectural relationship of the Pedregal de San Ángel Ecological Reserve (REPSA), a unique reserve in the world that is located within Ciudad Universitaria and that protects an extraordinary fund of biodiversity stressed by the current unsustainable development of the mega city of Mexico.

Thanks to the fact that it is a place where the city, wild vegetation and volcanic rock remnant of the eruption of the Xitle volcano coexist, it has functioned as a didactic enclave that has been a source and inspiration for works of contemporary art such as STRATUM by Luis Carrera-Maul (MUCA Campus, 2022) or Modthern Nature by Gabriela Galván (Arte Abierto, 2023). It has also been the setting for imagining a new type of architecture that leaves only a minimal ecological footprint: constructive botany, a model created by the German architect Hannes Schwertfeger, who introduced it to Mexico in 2022 in a workshop given at UNAM.

This Derive reflects on how architecture, art and nature find points of confluence to think about our environmental responsibility as current inhabitants of the basin of Mexico and the world.
