Oaxaca, Mexico: Cultural roots
The design seminar will take us to Oaxaca, Mexico, where we will do workshops together with the community to understand their needs and their every-day practices. We will learn from the local culture and traditions to be able to give better solutions for the project. We will also visit architecture from different periods in history, from the Zapotec culture, colonialism, post-colonialism and different contemporary projects that have learned from the traditional constructions. We will have as a base the city of Oaxaca, from where we will travel to the different sites and to the community. At the end of the trip we will also have a couple of days to experience the life of the metropolis in Mexico City.
