I've never thought about Mexico city as underrated. In terms of architectural examples of all time from prehispanic, baroque, neoclassic, 18th century revivals, modern, and contemporary architecture is definitely the richest in the continent. Lots of it is UNESCO heritage.
You are right and I like how you look at this! Also it is very rich culturally, so many periods of history! I guess for a lot of people this should be the first step to understand how many layers of culture is represented in architecture!
@@AndriiZhulidov el centro de la ciudad es muy bonito. Además hay lugares donde hay balas en las paredes de tuenoos de la revolución, bastante histórico, y como un millón de iglesias jaja ✌️🇲🇽
@@AndriiZhulidov and there’s one small templo de Santa Maria Tonantzintla, in Cholula, Puebla; It’s a churrigueresco architecture (barroco-novohispano) It’s really beutiful and Unique.
Actually “La Ruta de la Amistad” was originallly designed for decorating the Periferico way, starting from Glorieta de San Jerónimo and ending at the Canal de Cuemanco, so the sculptures were specially done to be watched from the car. On recent years a private foundation in coordination with the City’s government decided to move many of the sculptures to certain areas of Periferico, due to the construction of the Periférico’s second floor, with a restauration included. The project is almost done so all of them could be preserved. Great video, different from what other expats. I also recommend you to visit the CENART, Palacio de los Deportes, MUAC, Jardín Escultórico at UNAM (different to Espacio Escultórico), Sala Nezahualcoyotl, Biblioteca Vasconcelos, La Ciudadela, and Parroquia de la Esperanza de María en la Resurrección de Jesús.
Hi Luis. Thank you for your input on La Ruta de la Amistad and for your recommendations, I'll definitely make a plan to visit them. Some of them I've already visited.
Amazing! Your efforts were absolutely worth it! We are regular CDMX visitors - and you have blown our horizons wide open! We have focused mostly on colonial and Porfiriato (Porfirio Diaz 1876-1911) buildings. Now we have a big to do list for our next trip! Your efforts were absolutely worth it! Thank you!

Hello, all these perceptions about Mexico City are just that! Mexico City is one of the best communicated in the world, there are 10 different means of transportation (subway, metrobus, cablebus, trolleybus, light rail, intercity rail , ecobici, etc), in terms of pollution, they began to combat it since 1990, and in reality the CDMX is no longer a problem, now the surrounding state of Mexico is, in terms of maintenance, for me it is one of the cities with more new buildings in all of Latin America and urban maintenance is quite good! Also mention the Latin American tower since it is an icon of anti-seismic architecture in the world!
Hi Marco! Thank you for your comment! Yes, public transportation is very developed in CDMX, but still even my Mexican friends prefer to use car or uber. Allow me to disagree with you about the air pollution. Right now, in windy February you can see blue sky and have acceptable quality of air, also in rain season it is better, but other half of the year air quality stays "unhealthy for sensitive groups" or just "unhealthy". (I check air quality on my phone with BreezoMeter) Urban maintenance is pretty good: parks are clean, plants are watered, streets are mostly clean. But I was talking of the maintenance of the buildings. Just look at the facade of Torre Latinoamericana when you are there next time, it looks very unmainted. Anyway, I think CDMX has a lot of great architecture and people should know about it & enjoy it!
Thank you and bravo............ Mexico is great and they sometimes forget that they are a world class culture........... Gracias.......... I hope that Mexican scholars and city planners see this.... Because of this presentation.......... I hit the like button and subscribed....

Hey!😳 this is actually a pretty good video! 📹 👌 I like your explanations and your editing is very good that it keeps me interested in it! Good job Sir 👏👏👏 Good job!👍
*Wow, indeed you were roaming the city for few days to make your video* *It takes time to go to one place too another; Satelite, la Cineteca Nacional, Polanco, la casa de Barragán etc, great job!*
@@AndriiZhulidov It is and it's not; it is because of the distances and it's not because the city is mostly well communicated everywhere, trains, buses micro buses and others run constantly and worst case scenario... Uber! I live in Alberta Canada and the city transport is not the best for a "first world" city (so I don't believe in those labels anymore) if you finished your shift by midnight you're screwed if you don't have a car or live too far, commuting becomes 2 or 5 fold times car commuting But back to the video, it was great video and excellently done and yes still many places left out You're still in Mexico?
Great video ! If one day you’re back to Mexico city check “biblioteca Vasconcelos” and near by is “el museo del Chopo” (3 floors huge museum made of iron) and same area el Kiosko Morisco, then eat pozole in la casa de Toño ... nice piece of traditional architecture home like small hacienda or plaza Also in Chapultepec there’s an area called “la segunda sección” and in there you can find some huge monuments and fountains, my favorite are some giant snakes eating themselves surrounding a lighthouse ... is like tripping ! Also check the inside of Bella’s artes
@@AndriiZhulidov out of Vasconcelos library, on Saturdays there’s an underground street market where punks, gothic and rock culture gather ... you might be interested. Also in Sunday’s on reforma street close to Tlatelolco there’s a market with antiques and vintage stuff, some forniture also ... very urban thing but fun ... also some cool food ... the name is Mercado de la lagunilla, “ la Lagu”
If you ever go back to CDMX you can visit the Library "Biblioteca Vasconcelos" i heard it was closed due to covid but it might be open, the more modern architecture of CDMX is located in "Parque la Mexicana" wich used to be a mine, then became the city's duming ground of trash and now a modern business hub
Thank you! Library is on my list, yes it was closed at some point when I wanted to visit it, so will try to go there again. I've been to Parque la Mexicana and I like it a lot! I wish they would have a bigger parking lot, haha!
Bro, hiciste un excelente trabajo de investigación, quizá para la otra puedes hablar de Michelle Rojkind, Isaac Broid, y Alberto Kalach, referentes de la arquitectura contemporánea mexicana!!!
Thank you for watching Nancy! I wish I would have time to do a second part to this video, as people in the comments suggested me so many other great spots in the city!
Mexico City has a rich architectural and historical heritage. My favorite buildings are the old hotels and apartment buildings from the 1930s to the 1950s that made Mexico City a world top destination to visit every year!
Hope this video drives attention to structures like Los Manantiales, to be again in full function. Thanks for the video, I'm Mexican and I didn't knew a lot of those structures.
Wonderful explanation and greetings for your comments , few people have a lot a information about me Ivan architectures in today times an you are bless of knowledge about Mexican architectural in modern Mexico City.
Great video! I would add to the list: 1. Anahuacalli Museum 2. José Vasconselos Library 3. Bacardi Industrial Facilities 4. Jumex Museum 5. Reforma Tower 6. Teacher's National School
Luis Barragan 1902-2088 (186 years old) 👴 Ive always loved the architecture of my city and felt grateful for all the art we have on the streets ❤ thanks for the video
Thank you for this video, I am mexican and I love my city, there is always so much to see and to do here, and architecture is very interesting, you are right, Mexico is not more dangerous than any other big city in the world, (I lived in Paris for 8 years), what I could suggest is to hire a car with chauffeur and make a plan ahead for places to visit, there are some people who love to show you around the architectural styles, some of them are architects themselves, I think you can find them in google. I agree with you about the climate, its sometimes very hot, I always carry a small umbrella in my purse. May through october is the rainy season, the best time of the year to visit is mid october to mid february. I used to take people downtown to see aztec ruins and colonial buildings but now I’m retired and live south of Mexico City in Cuernavaca. I wish you a very happy stay in my beloved Mexico city the next time you come. You will find much more interesting buildings and architecture than you have shown us in this video. Much love from Mexico ❤️🇲🇽
Thank you very much for your nice comment! I've been to Cuernavaca and I like Jardin Borda. I feel like January and February are the months to be in CDMX.
México is the third most visited country in the world, and everyone is talking about the hundreds of American and Canadian citizens that have moved to Mexico City recently for the nice weather and fall in love with this beautiful city.

Dear Andrii, I would assume that you are an architect? is that correct? Art Deco, Art Nouveau and Baroque are the most common architecture styles in Mexico but also Churrigueresque. As you said many modern artists have worked amazing sculptures and buildings. You should consider writing a book about this work.
Thank you Jullien! Yes, I'm an architect and I'm really interested in modern architecture and art as well. I appreciate Art Deco and other styles, but I don't feel to be very connected and desire to explore them, so focus is on modern architecture. I'm not sure about the book, but I would love to do one more video about architecture in Mexico City. Hope, I'll find time for that!
You are talking about the modern architecture but CDMX is known by "the city of the palaces" The colonial architecture is beautifull!! And if u come to Mexico you MUST go to the Antropology museum, it is amazing and has a big "shower sculpiture".
Yes, Colonial Architecture is much more famous in Mexico City than Modernist Architecture, that is why I focused on it. I mentioned the Anthropology Museum in the video and this one of the best museums in the world in my opinion.
The Torre Reforma (a skyscraper without columns) Plaza Parques Toreo, Plaza Manacar, Plaza Antara, Plaza Garden Santa Fe, Reforma 222, Liverpool Insurgentes, Torre Pantalón, Torre Virreyes, Old historic Buildings, etc
@@AndriiZhulidov As I saw it is a very interesting and diverse city with huge architecrural heritage. So it will be interesting to visit it. And some other argentinian cities as well, for example - Mendoza, Rosario and Bariloche.
Underrated by whom? We mexicanas are very well aware of the beauty of our cities and not just that but of our beautiful and rich culture. If Americans know nothin about of our cities, it doesn’t mean that they are underrated because they aren’t.
We know it, others don't necessarily so. If they don't know about our architecture, they simply have no idea how amazing it is. Relax... Thanks for your video, Andrii!
Hi bro i'm from México city, You should go to "las capuchinas" by Luis Barragán, "muac" by Teodoro Gonzáles de león, "museo del eco" by goeritz, "The libriry José Vasconcelos" by Alberto Kalach, "the museum anahuacalli" by Diego rivera and Juan ogorman also You can visit the new extensión by Mauricio Rocha, "casa prieto López" and "casa Gálvez" by Barragán as well.i'm Very happy that You enjoy our beautiful arquitecture.
Of course there are fantastic architectural treasures in DF. But I think maybe that as a whole architecture in Mexico is still a growing force. Mexico is considered an "emerging market" economy. I think that might be the reason architecture as a whole is not fully developed yet when compared to first world nations. (2021 the per capita income in Mexico is estimated to be $8927 USD and in the United States $58510 USD, China $10,431 USD). A surplus of capital is often the first ingredient for a robust attitude to new architectural movements. That being said, some of my favorite buildings are in Mexico. And the amazing architectural designs there also have a less corporate feeling than many celebrated buildings in the other parts of the world. And this is a good thing.
I can't belive it, nobody has mention him...!. Andrii, you must know Carlos Mijares Bracho (1930-2015), his work is like a mix of Mario Botta and M. C. Escher (1898-1972)... He will blow your mind... I recomend you specially his Christ Church building (1988-90), here in Mexico City. I also recomend you younger architects like Frida Escobedo and Tatiana Bilbao, and the long term project from Abraham Cruzvillegas, Autoconstrucción (something like Self-construction, Auto-construction o Self-build), a contemporary art project which cames from own Cruzvillegas familiar expirience in the Ajusco neighborhood, Mexico City, survival process which results very common in the humble people of Mexico. Another mexican, but architect, is Oscar Hagerman, his chair design and sustainable houses inspired in popular constructions and materials are amazing... Did you visited Kurimanzutto Gallery here en Mexico City?... it's another project of architectural restauration by Alberto Kalach
Wow! Eduardo, thank you very much! I added everything you mentioned to my list and will do a research on the architects you mentioned! This is amazing! and you are right, no one mentioned what you mentioned!
Unique video, great information!, but you forgot to show the stadium of UNAM IN CU!!, which is is a UNESCO World Heritage!! In this stadium PUMAS-UNAM play soccer, you should go to watch a game! ;)
@@AndriiZhulidov OOOps I missed that part of the video!, but I it watched again :). And yess you will enjoy the game and I am sure you will get a lot of new viewers and follower of PUMAS team (including me), did you know our University UNAM is the University with more followers in twitter in the world?, Well deserved! Enjoy our beautiful CDMX!
Hola! Gracias por ver. Sí, realmente disfruto de la arquitectura mexicana y traté de mostrar cuán impresionante es la arquitectura moderna y presentar arquitectos mexicanos famosos.
@@alexangel1787 This war is really far away from Mexico, and I'm pretty sure those Mexicans don't know and don't understand the history of Ukraine and Russia. This is not a football game, where you choose a team to cheer for. This is real war, with a lot of deaths, cruelty and destruction. I don't care with whom those uneducated Mexicans stand with, because it doesn't even matter. People who stand with Ukraine: send humanitarian help, donate, take part in protests and really act to help. I'm pretty sure the Mexicans who "stand with Russia", didn't even send 1 peso to Russia to support them, that is why their support of Russia doesn't matter.
You missed one of my favorites, Biblioteca Vasconcelos. Also not exactly inside Mexico City (it's in Naucalpan, not too far from the city), you should check out "El nido de Quetzatcoatl" by Javier Senosiain.
Yes, Biblioteca Vasconcelos is on my list, so many people mentioned it! Thank you! Also, you missed the part where I mentioned "El nido de Quetzatcoatl", it is a private property and I was not able to book airbnb there. But Casa Organica by Senosiain is open for tours!
Mexico City, the place where with some changes it became a Cyberpunk City for film in the budget: Total Recall. And the locations still almost the same, so yes, we live in a cyberpunk City already.
A estas grandes obras me hubiera gustado que sumaras a las oficinas centrales del Instituto del Fondo Nacional para la Vivienda de los Trabajadores (INFONAVIT) obra de los arquitectos Teodoro González de León y Abraham Zabludovsky, las instalaciones del Mercado de Granaditas, conocido como la zapatería mas grande del mundo obra del arquitecto Pedro Ramírez Vázquez y por ultimo la Biblioteca Vasconcelos del los arquitectos Alberto Kalach y Juan Palomar Verea.
Muchas gracias por tus grandes adiciones! La hermosa ciudad de Mexico tiene una arquitectura tan grandiosa que es imposible cubrirla toda de una sola vez.
The arquitecture is New forr the buildings along to Reform avenue, and everywhere in the City., such building as BBVA in Chapultepec was built in 2016, as well as Mitihka shopping mall center , located at churubusco Southwest zon, Pedro Ramirez Vasquez Arquitecture works include woldwide famous Aztec Stadium soccer venue for América club, people will know our building when they start to move their head and eyes towards our City in the way México is more influencia
Mexico City is really not hot, in fact in the Summer I consider it a good alternative to the beaches, which are hot. I just visited a couple of weeks ago in the middle of July. In the day temperatures in the low 70's and at night in the 50's and I was cloudy and rained every day.
@@AndriiZhulidov it depends on the neighborhood. They go to specific places, like Condesa, Roma, Coyoacan. Before they moved to Cabo and San Miguel de Allende
What is your favorite building in Mexico City or which building from by video you would like to see in real life?
Reforma Tower which was given the 2018's top architecture prize, the International Highrise Award as the world's most innovative highrise.

It is and it's not; it is because of the distances and it's not because the city is mostly well communicated everywhere, trains, buses micro buses and others run constantly and worst case scenario... Uber!
I live in Alberta Canada and the city transport is not the best for a "first world" city (so I don't believe in those labels anymore) if you finished your shift by midnight you're screwed if you don't have a car or live too far, commuting becomes 2 or 5 fold times car commuting
But back to the video, it was great video and excellently done and yes still many places left out
You're still in Mexico?
Excelente Video 👌👌👌!!!!! Grandes Maestros con una gran variedad de Estilismo y Diseños ....Gran investigación Felicidades !!!
Gracias!
Great vídeo , and Nice to see someone that knows and appreciate the mexican arquitecture
Thank you very much! Mexican Architecture indeed deserves to be appreciated!
I tink your content its interesting and well documented
Thank you very much!
Great video !
If one day you’re back to Mexico city check “biblioteca Vasconcelos” and near by is “el museo del Chopo” (3 floors huge museum made of iron) and same area el Kiosko Morisco, then eat pozole in la casa de Toño ... nice piece of traditional architecture home like small hacienda or plaza
Also in Chapultepec there’s an area called “la segunda sección” and in there you can find some huge monuments and fountains, my favorite are some giant snakes eating themselves surrounding a lighthouse ... is like tripping !
Also check the inside of Bella’s artes
Thank you very much! I'm back to Mexico and I plan to do a second video. Will definitely visit Vasconcelos library and Chopo Museum.
@@AndriiZhulidov out of Vasconcelos library, on Saturdays there’s an underground street market where punks, gothic and rock culture gather ... you might be interested.
Also in Sunday’s on reforma street close to Tlatelolco there’s a market with antiques and vintage stuff, some forniture also ... very urban thing but fun ... also some cool food ... the name is Mercado de la lagunilla, “ la Lagu”
If you ever go back to CDMX you can visit the Library "Biblioteca Vasconcelos" i heard it was closed due to covid but it might be open, the more modern architecture of CDMX is located in "Parque la Mexicana" wich used to be a mine, then became the city's duming ground of trash and now a modern business hub
Thank you! Library is on my list, yes it was closed at some point when I wanted to visit it, so will try to go there again. I've been to Parque la Mexicana and I like it a lot! I wish they would have a bigger parking lot, haha!
Thanks for the suggestions. I look forward to visiting some of those buildings during my next visit to CDMX.
You are very welcome! Thank you for watching!
Bro, hiciste un excelente trabajo de investigación, quizá para la otra puedes hablar de Michelle Rojkind, Isaac Broid, y Alberto Kalach, referentes de la arquitectura contemporánea mexicana!!!
I think this should be the whole another video "Mexican Architecture today!" Thank you!
Wow 😳 nice 👍 video thank you for sharing
Thank you for watching!
Library Vasconcelos 🥇
Thanks! I plan to go there!
My favorite tower sky, is Torre Reforma (amazing). Thank you Andrii for this video.
Thank you!
Torre Reforma? Pfft! Have the worst design.
@@J-ONE1989
I appreciate your comment.
I tell you that in 2018 Torre Reforma, won the award for the Best Skyscraper in the World.
Kind regards.
Thank you for posting this
Thank you for watching Nancy! I wish I would have time to do a second part to this video, as people in the comments suggested me so many other great spots in the city!
Interesting
You're also missing La biblioteca Vasconcelos, but thanks for making a video about our modern architecure in cdmx!
Thank you for watching! I plan to see the library for sure!!!
Mexico City has a rich architectural and historical heritage. My favorite buildings are the old hotels and apartment buildings from the 1930s to the 1950s that made Mexico City a world top destination to visit every year!
See Torre Reforma in Mexico City. Won a design award for innovation in 2018. Also as others have said Biblioteca Vasconcelos library.
Yep! Many people mentioned these buildings! Thank you!
Hope this video drives attention to structures like Los Manantiales, to be again in full function. Thanks for the video, I'm Mexican and I didn't knew a lot of those structures.
I hope too, I really like Los Manantiales. I studied that building long time ago doing Master degree in Architecture.
thanks for this video 🙌🏼
Thank you for watching!
Wonderful explanation and greetings for your comments , few people have a lot a information about me Ivan architectures in today times an you are bless of knowledge about Mexican architectural in modern Mexico City.
Thank you for your kind words! This video is such a success that I have to make another one! 😀
Great video 👍🏻
Thanks!
Gran investigación... Mexico es maravilloso
Muchas gracias! Próximamente publicaré más videos sobre México!
Awesome !!!!!!
Mexican here, great video. 👌
Thank you very much!
Great video, now i want to visit Cinética Nacional, thanks bro
Please visit, it is nice place!
Welcome to México, congratulacions.nice video
Thank you!
Excellent video!
Thank you very much! Happy you liked it!
Great video! I would add to the list:
1. Anahuacalli Museum
2. José Vasconselos Library
3. Bacardi Industrial Facilities
4. Jumex Museum
5. Reforma Tower
6. Teacher's National School
la Bacardi y la normal no están abiertas al público.
Thank you! Did you mean National School of Theater, because I didn't find Teacher's National School building.
@@AndriiZhulidov The name is Benemérita Escuela Nacional de Maestros, unfortunately its not open to the public.
Luis Barragan 1902-2088 (186 years old) 👴
Ive always loved the architecture of my city and felt grateful for all the art we have on the streets ❤ thanks for the video
There are a lot of things to be grateful for in Mexico City. Yeah, ahaha, Luis Barragan is a Mexican Architectural Superhero!
MEXICO CITY IS THE BEST WEATHER ALL YEAR LONG IN ALL NORTH AMERICA..!😍
Yes, due to elevation it is not that hot in the summer.
You must visit National Museum of Art, it’s just wow
Okay! Will do! I used to buy coffee on the corner near the museum every morning for a couple of weeks, but never thought about going to the museum!
Thank you for this video, I am mexican and I love my city, there is always so much to see and to do here, and architecture is very interesting, you are right, Mexico is not more dangerous than any other big city in the world, (I lived in Paris for 8 years), what I could suggest is to hire a car with chauffeur and make a plan ahead for places to visit, there are some people who love to show you around the architectural styles, some of them are architects themselves, I think you can find them in google. I agree with you about the climate, its sometimes very hot, I always carry a small umbrella in my purse. May through october is the rainy season, the best time of the year to visit is mid october to mid february. I used to take people downtown to see aztec ruins and colonial buildings but now I’m retired and live south of Mexico City in Cuernavaca. I wish you a very happy stay in my beloved Mexico city the next time you come. You will find much more interesting buildings and architecture than you have shown us in this video.
Much love from Mexico ❤️🇲🇽
Thank you very much for your nice comment! I've been to Cuernavaca and I like Jardin Borda. I feel like January and February are the months to be in CDMX.
México is the third most visited country in the world, and everyone is talking about the hundreds of American and Canadian citizens that have moved to Mexico City recently for the nice weather and fall in love with this beautiful city.
Great video
Happy you liked it! Thank you for watching!
Yes. Museo El Eco in Sullivan Street is a must and is well kept by the UNAM.
This museum looks awesome! Thank you! It is on my list now!
Museo El Eco , en los 80s era un Teatro Centro Cultural Isabelino , dónde había arte ( musica de todo tipo, exposiciones de todo tipo, Teatro , hasta cursos de verano para pequeños , grandes recuerdo que viví el foro.teatralnera de madera , aquí era EL ECO museo del diseño original Mathias Goeritz
Please visit casa Barragan, CENART, el Chopo Museum, Anahuacalli, La Mexicana at Santa Fe, or the botanical garden at Parque Bicentenario.
Thank you very much! El Chopo and Parque Bicentenario are new for me, added to my list!
Dear Andrii, I would assume that you are an architect? is that correct? Art Deco, Art Nouveau and Baroque are the most common architecture styles in Mexico but also Churrigueresque. As you said many modern artists have worked amazing sculptures and buildings. You should consider writing a book about this work.
Thank you Jullien! Yes, I'm an architect and I'm really interested in modern architecture and art as well. I appreciate Art Deco and other styles, but I don't feel to be very connected and desire to explore them, so focus is on modern architecture. I'm not sure about the book, but I would love to do one more video about architecture in Mexico City. Hope, I'll find time for that!
Eres honesto y eso me agrada, tienes mi like. Excelente video.
Muchas gracias Francisco!
You are talking about the modern architecture but CDMX is known by "the city of the palaces" The colonial architecture is beautifull!! And if u come to Mexico you MUST go to the Antropology museum, it is amazing and has a big "shower sculpiture".
Yes, Colonial Architecture is much more famous in Mexico City than Modernist Architecture, that is why I focused on it. I mentioned the Anthropology Museum in the video and this one of the best museums in the world in my opinion.
Excelente tu video amigo!!!
Thank you very much!
The Torre Reforma (a skyscraper without columns) Plaza Parques Toreo, Plaza Manacar, Plaza Antara, Plaza Garden Santa Fe, Reforma 222, Liverpool Insurgentes, Torre Pantalón, Torre Virreyes, Old historic Buildings, etc
Thank you very much! I haven't seen those Plazas that you mentions and they look very cool on the pictures. I have to see them in real life!
would have been cool if you make a video of the cdmx skyscrapers
Mexico is stunning, CLEAN and unique
you should include the Torre Mayor and there are other modern buildings right there or visit Santa Fe there are many very modern buildings
CDMX has so many great buildings that it is impossible to include all of them! Thank you for mentioning another cool building!
Wow, Mexico city seems to be really interesting. But If I could travel now I'll visit Buenos-Aires first)
Why Buenos Aires is on the top of your list?
@@AndriiZhulidov As I saw it is a very interesting and diverse city with huge architecrural heritage. So it will be interesting to visit it. And some other argentinian cities as well, for example - Mendoza, Rosario and Bariloche.
Underrated by whom? We mexicanas are very well aware of the beauty of our cities and not just that but of our beautiful and rich culture. If Americans know nothin about of our cities, it doesn’t mean that they are underrated because they aren’t.
I explained that in the video.
We know it, others don't necessarily so. If they don't know about our architecture, they simply have no idea how amazing it is. Relax...
Thanks for your video, Andrii!
Hi bro i'm from México city, You should go to "las capuchinas" by Luis Barragán, "muac" by Teodoro Gonzáles de león, "museo del eco" by goeritz, "The libriry José Vasconcelos" by Alberto Kalach, "the museum anahuacalli" by Diego rivera and Juan ogorman also You can visit the new extensión by Mauricio Rocha, "casa prieto López" and "casa Gálvez" by Barragán as well.i'm Very happy that You enjoy our beautiful arquitecture.
Hey Antonio! Wow, you suggested a lot of cool buildings to visit! I appreciate it a lot! Thank you very much!
Talking about architecture, had you been in Santa Fe, México City? If not, check the architecture there.👍😊
Yes, I've been to La Mexicana Park and around the Santa Fe! I liked it!
Biblioteca Vasconcelos, it's a must for you!
Thank you! This is probably number one suggestion in comments! 😀
I like him because he shows so much that others don't bother to look for.
Thank you! I appreciate it a lot!
If you come to Ixtapa in the state of Guerrero viist the hotel Las Brisas, is from Luis Barragan and is awesome and monumental
I just googled it and it looks amazing! Thanks for recommendations.
I visited el Nido de Quetzacoaltl it is amazing
Wow! Lucky you! Haha! I want to visit it one day as well!
Of course there are fantastic architectural treasures in DF. But I think maybe that as a whole architecture in Mexico is still a growing force. Mexico is considered an "emerging market" economy. I think that might be the reason architecture as a whole is not fully developed yet when compared to first world nations. (2021 the per capita income in Mexico is estimated to be $8927 USD and in the United States $58510 USD, China $10,431 USD). A surplus of capital is often the first ingredient for a robust attitude to new architectural movements. That being said, some of my favorite buildings are in Mexico. And the amazing architectural designs there also have a less corporate feeling than many celebrated buildings in the other parts of the world. And this is a good thing.
Thank you for your comment! I like how you think about it! Also, I like a lot how you say about less corporate feeling.
There is lot of street art in Mexico, there are a lot of neighborhoods so precious.
But the most enjoyable thing of the city is its people...
This is true! 🇲🇽
I can't belive it, nobody has mention him...!. Andrii, you must know Carlos Mijares Bracho (1930-2015), his work is like a mix of Mario Botta and M. C. Escher (1898-1972)... He will blow your mind... I recomend you specially his Christ Church building (1988-90), here in Mexico City.
I also recomend you younger architects like Frida Escobedo and Tatiana Bilbao, and the long term project from Abraham Cruzvillegas, Autoconstrucción (something like Self-construction, Auto-construction o Self-build), a contemporary art project which cames from own Cruzvillegas familiar expirience in the Ajusco neighborhood, Mexico City, survival process which results very common in the humble people of Mexico. Another mexican, but architect, is Oscar Hagerman, his chair design and sustainable houses inspired in popular constructions and materials are amazing...
Did you visited Kurimanzutto Gallery here en Mexico City?... it's another project of architectural restauration by Alberto Kalach
Wow! Eduardo, thank you very much! I added everything you mentioned to my list and will do a research on the architects you mentioned! This is amazing! and you are right, no one mentioned what you mentioned!
Unique video, great information!, but you forgot to show the stadium of UNAM IN CU!!, which is is a UNESCO World Heritage!! In this stadium PUMAS-UNAM play soccer, you should go to watch a game! ;)
Thank you! I just checked and I briefly showed the stadium on 1:33. It is great idea to see the PUMAS game!
@@AndriiZhulidov OOOps I missed that part of the video!, but I it watched again :). And yess you will enjoy the game and I am sure you will get a lot of new viewers and follower of PUMAS team (including me), did you know our University UNAM is the University with more followers in twitter in the world?, Well deserved! Enjoy our beautiful CDMX!
Don't forget biblioteca Vasconcelos. Amazing
Will go there for sure!
I'm no understand English pero parece que le gustó mucho andar de acá para allá
Hola! Gracias por ver. Sí, realmente disfruto de la arquitectura mexicana y traté de mostrar cuán impresionante es la arquitectura moderna y presentar arquitectos mexicanos famosos.
@@AndriiZhulidov gracias soy arquitecto y vivo cerca de esas zonas del sur de la cdmx
Luis Barragan 1902-2088. 186 years old. Legend.
Long Live the Master!
Loved the blue and yellow sculpture! Ukrainian vibes in Mexico 😍🇺🇦
Do you mean big yellow horse on blue base? This is Torre Caballito and I love this huge sculpture. ✊🏻🇺🇦
@@alexangel1787 This war is really far away from Mexico, and I'm pretty sure those Mexicans don't know and don't understand the history of Ukraine and Russia. This is not a football game, where you choose a team to cheer for. This is real war, with a lot of deaths, cruelty and destruction. I don't care with whom those uneducated Mexicans stand with, because it doesn't even matter. People who stand with Ukraine: send humanitarian help, donate, take part in protests and really act to help. I'm pretty sure the Mexicans who "stand with Russia", didn't even send 1 peso to Russia to support them, that is why their support of Russia doesn't matter.
You missed one of my favorites, Biblioteca Vasconcelos. Also not exactly inside Mexico City (it's in Naucalpan, not too far from the city), you should check out "El nido de Quetzatcoatl" by Javier Senosiain.
Yes, Biblioteca Vasconcelos is on my list, so many people mentioned it! Thank you!
Also, you missed the part where I mentioned "El nido de Quetzatcoatl", it is a private property and I was not able to book airbnb there. But Casa Organica by Senosiain is open for tours!
You should visit El colegio de México/the UPN/the FCE. It's an amazing show of the brutalist work of the Teodoro Gonzalez de león
Thank you! Added to my list of "Architecture to see".
Museo tamayo is my absolute favourite museum, however my favourite building in cdmx is correos,
Tamayo has amazing flow of interior space! I like it a lot!
Mexico City, the place where with some changes it became a Cyberpunk City for film in the budget: Total Recall. And the locations still almost the same, so yes, we live in a cyberpunk City already.
A estas grandes obras me hubiera gustado que sumaras a las oficinas centrales del Instituto del Fondo Nacional para la Vivienda de los Trabajadores (INFONAVIT) obra de los arquitectos Teodoro González de León y Abraham Zabludovsky, las instalaciones del Mercado de Granaditas, conocido como la zapatería mas grande del mundo obra del arquitecto Pedro Ramírez Vázquez y por ultimo la Biblioteca Vasconcelos del los arquitectos Alberto Kalach y Juan Palomar Verea.
Muchas gracias por tus grandes adiciones! La hermosa ciudad de Mexico tiene una arquitectura tan grandiosa que es imposible cubrirla toda de una sola vez.
luis barragan 1902-2088 :)......definitely recommend showing off Torre Virreyes its like a dorito standing on a tip
Lol! Good catch! This is because Luis Barragan is immortal, haha. Torre Virreyes is pretty cool building, I like it!
The arquitecture is New forr the buildings along to Reform avenue, and everywhere in the City., such building as BBVA in Chapultepec was built in 2016, as well as Mitihka shopping mall center , located at churubusco Southwest zon, Pedro Ramirez Vasquez Arquitecture works include woldwide famous Aztec Stadium soccer venue for América club, people will know our building when they start to move their head and eyes towards our City in the way México is more influencia
Finally videos about Mexico City that are not about tacos and Condesa
Mexico City is really not hot, in fact in the Summer I consider it a good alternative to the beaches, which are hot. I just visited a couple of weeks ago in the middle of July. In the day temperatures in the low 70's and at night in the 50's and I was cloudy and rained every day.
The hottest in Mexico City is in April!
Mas bien desconocida, Mexico tiene arquitectos supertalentosos y reconocidos a nivel internacional
Esto es muy cierto!
pumas stadium was supposed to have murals all around it made by Diego Rivera but he could only complete one before he die
Interesting fact! Thank you!
Actually many Americans are moving to Mexico City, so much that is already really noticeable
This is interesting. How many of them should've moved to the city with population of more than 22 million people that it gets noticeable?
@@AndriiZhulidov it depends on the neighborhood. They go to specific places, like Condesa, Roma, Coyoacan. Before they moved to Cabo and San Miguel de Allende
Torre Latino Americana.....
Reminds me of the empire state building with a glass exterior.
this is true! it has a silhouette that kind of looks like Empire State Building!
Liked it a los man!!
Thank you!
