Exhibition Arquitectura en México 1900-2010. The biggest exhibition ever held about Mexican architecture.

“Arquitectura en México 1900-2010. La construcción de la modernidad. Obras, diseño, arte y pensamiento” is the biggest retrospective of modern Mexican architecture ever held.
The curator has divided Mexican architecture into 6 stylistic periods: “Los inicios (1900-1924)”, “Primera modernidad (1925-1939)”, “Periodo heroico (1940-1968)”, “Nueva monumentalidad (1969-1989)”, “Fin de siglo (1990-1999)” e “Primera década del siglo XXI (2000-2010)”.

The exhibition provides an overview of the works of more than 160 architects in photographs, drawings, models, furnishings, sculptures, etc. There is a lot of material here that has never been exhibited in public before, including work by the new generation of Mexican architects which includes exhibition curator Fernanda Casales.
The initiative is a product of the partnership between the cultural organisation “Fomento Cultural Banamex” of the National Bank of Mexico, the Mexican Council for Art and Culture, the Mexican Fine Arts Institute and the Aeroméxico Foundation.
