C guide Launches Digital Platform for Contemporary Architecture in Mexico City
The C guide, a digital resource for exploring modern architecture, was introduced in Mexico City at Cosentino City, an event hosted by the Fundación Arquitectura Contemporánea (FAC) and Cosentino. This complimentary app offers interactive maps and geolocated tours, categorizing architectural works as C, CC, or CCC. A newly created Latinoamérica CCC list will showcase projects completed after 1975, complementing existing lists from Spain, Portugal, and the USA. Among the 200 Best selection, nine Mexican projects are featured, such as Casa Terreno and Parque del Kinder. The launch event also included a discussion on architectural challenges in Latin America, featuring speakers like Juan José Kochen and Andrea Griborio. C guide is available in 17 cities, including New York and London.
