Our Odette projects are featured in Baked In (Gestalten), a volume that maps a global journey through the new generation of bakeries. The book brings together experiences as diverse as minimalist Japanese micro-shops, Nordic sourdough labs, Parisian pâtisserie temples, and the warm community hubs of Mexico City.
Baked In reveals how design, craft, and community converge in spaces where bread transcends its role as food to become a cultural and ritual act. Through evocative photography, interior plans, and first‑person accounts, the book foregrounds those who design, bake, and inhabit these places.
The chapters blend images and voices—bakers, designers, and historians—to show how choices of materiality, lighting, and spatial arrangement shape the customer’s sensory experience.
It is a celebration of contemporary bakery culture: from technique to aesthetics, and from tradition to experimentation.

Pabellón del Futuro is part of Atlas of Contemporary Architecture in Mexico, an exhibition that explores the language and typologies of the first quarter of the 21st century. Three sections of the show are presented at the National Museum of Architecture, the Museum of the Palace of Fine Arts, and the Diego Rivera Mural Museum.
The fourth section, at LIGA, imagines the next quarter century through collective exercises of reflection and production. What will Mexican architecture be like in 2050? How do we want it to be? To what extent can projections like these help us map better futures?
Curators: Pablo Landa Ruiloba, Estudio Estudio, and Urbanalítica.

The Architectural Association’s (AA) Summer School returned to Mexico City with an intensive three-week programme bringing together creatives from Latin America and beyond to explore the city through observation, experimentation and collaboration. Rooted in the AA’s tradition of experimental architectural education, the programme took Mexico City as both context and classroom. Through urban explorations, collective research, and conversations with architects and artists, students investigated the contradictions, rhythms and unexpected forms of ingenuity embedded in everyday urban life.
The programme culminated in a collective installation - or a dinner party - designed and built with students: a spatial response distilled from three weeks of observing, recording and interpreting the city. Rather than representing Mexico City literally, the project translates recurring urban conditions into space, drawing particularly on moments of compression and decompression; the oscillation between the sensory intensity of the streets and the unexpected moments of calm that punctuate them.
The installation also draws from the surprising beauty of industrial materials found in tianguis and informal constructions, where utility, improvisation and resourcefulness become an aesthetic language of their own. At its core, the project celebrates a distinctly Mexican culture of making: the ability to improvise, assemble from almost nothing, and approach uncertainty with an optimistic "¿y si sí?" embracing experimentation over perfection.
The result is both installation and gathering: a constellation of objects, rituals and shared encounters enveloped by a translucent skin. Less an exhibition than an invitation, it creates a space to sit together, observe, converse and, for a brief moment, inhabit the city differently.
Provecho.
Students:
Regina Gomez Mont (TA). Arjun Modayur (usa), Catalina Cabral Framiñan (usa/arg/mex), Christian Sievers (ger/mex), Delia Ștefania Cazan (rum), Jimena Orvañanos (mex), María José García Martínez (mex), Sofia Manuelovna Perez Kremko (rus/mex), Mateo Niño Ibarra (mex), Oscar Schlesinger (usa), Pablo Sañudo Rojas (mex), Samuel Urrutia (col), Sonya Thye (ger)

The AA Summer School arrived in Latin America in 2025 with an intensive three-week programme based in Mexico City. The course welcomes creatives from Latin America and beyond who are eager to engage with, and contribute to, the city’s vibrant cultural sphere. Rooted in the AA’s tradition of experimental and provocative architectural education, the programme promotes learning through direct engagement, on-site exploration and active collaboration with local cultural institutions.
Mexico City serves as both context and classroom. Students learn from the city through guided urban explorations, collective research and a public programme of lectures and conversations with the city’s architects and artists. These encounters foster an intergenerational and cross-disciplinary dialogue that seeks to inform and expand students’ creative practice.
This year, AASS Latin America returns with an extended and enhanced programme that immerses participants in the contradictions and absurdities of Mexico City. Known for its intensity and apparent chaos, the city oscillates between the magical and the overwhelming. Embracing this duality, the programme seeks to uncover the hidden rhythms and meanings embedded in everyday urban life, understanding the ingenuity of the streets as profoundly creative events from which architects can learn. Through observation, interpretation and action, students are encouraged to reveal the extraordinary within the mundane.
The programme concludes with a collective installation designed and built by students: a public, spatial event that assembles three weeks of investigation, experimentation and collaboration into a shared architectural outcome.

The labyrinth’s path was constructed using cantera stone, a traditional material that establishes a direct relationship with the historical building techniques of the hacienda and the region. The use of cantera clearly defines the route while contributing qualities of weight, texture, and permanence, reinforcing an experience of conscious and physical movement. Continuous contact with the material intensifies the relationship between the body, the terrain, and temporality.

Glasgow is home to numerous buildings with a rich and profound history. However, often a lack of imagination and resources hinders their proper maintenance and preservation. The current situation places many of these structures at risk of collapse, and there is a perception that available funds for their rescue are insufficient.
In contrast, in Mexico, approaches have been adopted that leverage architectural heritage through direct and effective use of resources. Nonetheless, existing protection regulations in our country sometimes limit options for intervention and innovative reuse of these spaces.
Our participation in the exhibition in Glasgow and the Lago Algo project are part of a broader discourse aimed at fostering the reconsideration and reform of heritage protection and management systems. Through this initiative, we aspire to contribute to a debate that promotes sustainable and creative solutions for the preservation of our cultural patrimony.

Located in the San Miguel Chapultepec neighborhood, Mexico City. Our design intentions were to preserve the spatial character of the existing space by renovating the three-story building to integrate the new programme. The ground level serves as the restaurant and contains a kitchen, bathroom and an outdoor patio, the second level contains the main kitchen, an office and the research library and the third level serves as an apartment which is rented on the Airbnb platform.

The main vision of the proposal is the production of generic, adaptable and replicable spaces that reconceive the programme of the Yucatan hacienda, consequently transforming it into independent typologies such as: plaza, warehouse, drying area, workshop, commerce, warehouse, mill etc. Moreover, on the urban scale, the model seeks to decentralize its program and distribute it throughout the territory forming an archipelago of infrastructure in order to democratize these spaces and generate tension between its main actors: the landscape, La Casa del Agave and its social sphere.
Project in collaboration with A6A and André Guiraud.

The intervention questions the approach of contemporary architecture as a good of economic development and synthetic environments within an unsustainable urban context. This environment has blinded architecture from its primary objective: to cover the need for shelter. That is why the installation refers to the relationship between the natural (subject) and the artificial (object) situated within a controlled context (pot).
As a paradox of contemporary architecture, the architectural object is reduced to its primary expression: the vertical line as a column and the plane as a roof to satisfy the basic need of the subject: shade on a sunny day.
