Ever wondered why Mexican architecture is world famous? Discover it now in this comprehensive two day tour! From the colonial time when Mexico City got its nickname "city of palaces", over the early 20th century art-nouveau and art-déco, to works by renowned architect Luis Barragán (Pritzker and UNESCO awards), to me a master of light and colour, and his followers. Some contemporary central highlights include mural art by Diego Rivera, projects by rising stars Enrique Norten or Michael Rojkind, and a library or fire station by Alberto Kalach. On the second day, I want to show you the lesser known south of the city. The UNESCO world heritage site of the National University UNAM is to me a magical play of modernist buildings, integrated landscape planning and pre columbian materials. Nearby, we discover colonial gems of San Angel and the first building built according to Le Corbusier in 1932. You'll also be surprised by the amount of public art, and much more.
This 2 day tour can be customized according to your interests (period, style, architect. . . ). Or you can just lay back and let me pick out the best for you! Example itinerary: Day 1 (8h) • Legorreta's Plaza Juarez and Camino Real • Rivera's Tlaloc statue and underwater mural • Barragan's Gilardi house (appointment needed) • El Eco Gallery by Matthias Goëritz • The Chopo Museum • The Vasconcelos Library by Alberto Kalach • The Fenix fire station Day 2 (7h) • Barragan's Chapel (my favourite, architecture rarely gets so mystic)/ Pedregal suburb, with possibility to visit the Pedregal House or Max Cetto house (appointments needed) • The Condesa area with splendid Art Déco and new developments by Enrique Norten et al. • Soumaya museum • UNAM University campus • Diego Rivera studio twin house • Teodoro Gonzalez de León, Pedro Ramirez Vasquez, Felix Candela, Enrique de la Mora, Michel Rojkind. .
