RDA: Spring Lecture Series- Frida Escobedo Lopez
The Rice Design Alliance Presents its 2010 Spring Lecture Series:
Mexico City Surging: DF Architecture
The “City of Palaces” is what radio announcers used to call Mexico City in their daily broadcasts—an apt nickname since its architectural treasures are unmatched in the Western Hemisphere. As Richard Neutra pointed out in a 1952 essay, only Peru can rival its Pre-Colombian and Colonial riches, but no other city in the Americas can boast of monuments from both of these eras, as well as an extraordinary body of modern architecture that keeps growing. During 2010 Mexico will be celebrating the bicentennial of its independence, as well as the centennial of the Mexican Revolution. The Rice Design Alliance joins the celebrations with a lecture series featuring a remarkable group of young architects who are making an impact on Mexico City with their built projects.
Join us as we conclude the Spring Lecture series with Frida Escobedo Lopez, Principal, Frida Escobedo Lopez, Architect.
