Mexico City has rich history and a huge relationship between architecture and culture. From Aztec ruins to colonial Spanish to modern landmarks this exhibition brings together ten of the most symbolic landmarks to revel layers of history, identity, and culture that has helped shaped Mexico City today. Places like the National Palace, Angel of Independence and Chapultepec Castle are reflections of Mexico’s national story of independence, empire, and modern government. Areas like Alameda Castle and Palacio show how public spaces have shaped throughout centuries socially, culturally and commercially. Mexico’s city’s landmarks form a continuous story of cultural resilience, artistic expression, and national identity. By exploring sites such as civic spaces, monuments, temples and churches, we are able to understand how each building in that time period left its mark on the city’s culture. This will show how history, architecture and everyday life intersect with each other. This exhibition will reveal Mexico’s layered past and its current future.
