ARCH 409, Section 4

This spring elective will take students to Mexico City and Oaxaca to explore different practices that move between disciplines of architecture and art, have a strong ethos in making and thinking through acts of material engagement, and integrate traditional and local craft within their work. Students will experience Mexico City through extensive site visits to various studios, offices, museums, and architectures, then they will travel to rural parts of Oaxaca to take part in local workshops, mainly in ceramics and textiles.
