Atlas de Arquitectura Contemporánea en México Maps a Transforming Discipline

The exhibition 'Atlas de Arquitectura Contemporánea en México' is on view from June 10 to October 4 at three venues: Palacio de Bellas Artes, Museo Mural Diego Rivera, and LIGA in Laguna. It presents a vast documentary, graphic, and plastic collection showcasing recent Mexican architecture. The show is organized by disciplinary, typological, and formal categories, but a review notes it omits key political and economic contexts, such as public investment in infrastructure and housing. Notable absences include the Biblioteca Vasconcelos, Estela de Luz, Reforma towers, and the controversy around the Nuevo Aeropuerto Internacional de la Ciudad de México and Aeropuerto Internacional Felipe Ángeles. The exhibition inadvertently reveals how architecture is shaped by real estate speculation and digital image economies, where buildings produce content for social media. The review praises the curatorial rigor and quality of works but calls for critical reflection on architecture's role in exclusion and inequality. Free admission, open Tuesday to Sunday, 10:00–18:00.
