You are right and I like how you look at this! Also it is very rich culturally, so many periods of history! I guess for a lot of people this should be the first step to understand how many layers of culture is represented in architecture!

@@AndriiZhulidov I just recommended this video to You Tubers in hiatus, "The Way We Saw It". They have some excellent videos from CDMX (and around the world).
Actually “La Ruta de la Amistad” was originallly designed for decorating the Periferico way, starting from Glorieta de San Jerónimo and ending at the Canal de Cuemanco, so the sculptures were specially done to be watched from the car. On recent years a private foundation in coordination with the City’s government decided to move many of the sculptures to certain areas of Periferico, due to the construction of the Periférico’s second floor, with a restauration included. The project is almost done so all of them could be preserved. Great video, different from what other expats.

Hello, all these perceptions about Mexico City are just that! Mexico City is one of the best communicated in the world, there are 10 different means of transportation (subway, metrobus, cablebus, trolleybus, light rail, intercity rail , ecobici, etc), in terms of pollution, they began to combat it since 1990, and in reality the CDMX is no longer a problem, now the surrounding state of Mexico is, in terms of maintenance, for me it is one of the cities with more new buildings in all of Latin America and urban maintenance is quite good! Also mention the Latin American tower since it is an icon of anti-seismic architecture in the world!
Hi Marco! Thank you for your comment! Yes, public transportation is very developed in CDMX, but still even my Mexican friends prefer to use car or uber. Allow me to disagree with you about the air pollution. Right now, in windy February you can see blue sky and have acceptable quality of air, also in rain season it is better, but other half of the year air quality stays "unhealthy for sensitive groups" or just "unhealthy". (I check air quality on my phone with BreezoMeter) Urban maintenance is pretty good: parks are clean, plants are watered, streets are mostly clean. But I was talking of the maintenance of the buildings. Just look at the facade of Torre Latinoamericana when you are there next time, it looks very unmainted. Anyway, I think CDMX has a lot of great architecture and people should know about it & enjoy it!
@@AndriiZhulidovif it is formidable you should go see the skyscraper that is called reform tower look it up on google for the exact address it is the first internationally awarded hanging skyscraper
The best places to see baroque art in Mexico City. - National Museum of Art - La Profesa Church gallery - Del Carmen Museum in San Angel The buildings are very beautiful too.
I´m Mexican and I loved your video! There are many other buildings you need to visit. Even the Teotihuacan Pyramids that are a wonderful place to learn some mexican history and architecture
Great video, going to Mexico City in 2 days and can't wait to see all of these places!! I never cared for architecture until I read Ayn Rand's Fountainhead, I strongly strongly recommend it and absolutely sure you will love it!
Great video. O'Gormans work reminds me of bauhaus.. That is a shame about Los Manantilas. I was in CDMX last year and was very taken by colonial architecture. The dilapidated is part of the beauty. Thanks for making me aware of modernism there. I'll be back!
If you ever go back to CDMX you can visit the Library "Biblioteca Vasconcelos" i heard it was closed due to covid but it might be open, the more modern architecture of CDMX is located in "Parque la Mexicana" wich used to be a mine, then became the city's duming ground of trash and now a modern business hub
Thank you! Library is on my list, yes it was closed at some point when I wanted to visit it, so will try to go there again. I've been to Parque la Mexicana and I like it a lot! I wish they would have a bigger parking lot, haha!
*Wow, indeed you were roaming the city for few days to make your video* *It takes time to go to one place too another; Satelite, la Cineteca Nacional, Polanco, la casa de Barragán etc, great job!*
@@AndriiZhulidov It is and it's not; it is because of the distances and it's not because the city is mostly well communicated everywhere, trains, buses micro buses and others run constantly and worst case scenario... Uber! I live in Alberta Canada and the city transport is not the best for a "first world" city (so I don't believe in those labels anymore) if you finished your shift by midnight you're screwed if you don't have a car or live too far, commuting becomes 2 or 5 fold times car commuting But back to the video, it was great video and excellently done and yes still many places left out You're still in Mexico?
Love your enthusiasm and insight! Hope the tourism board takes notice, because your suggestions are valid. I really liked that architect's lifted studio, too, with the spiral staircase. Did you return for the exhibition?
Thank you! Unfortunately, I had to go to states for work and was not able to attend the exhibition. When I'm back, I'll check it out again to see if it is still on.
@@AndriiZhulidovNice. I'm in Texas rn. That building reminded me a little of Geisel Library in Southern California, very space-age-ish and cool. I just googled "Mexico City" and "architecture" when I found your vid. I like the lens through which you viewed urban spaces! Thanks again for sharing.
Hola! I liked a lot your video. Thanks for showing this beautiful examples of awesome architecture in Mexico City. I agree with you they there should be more promotion about this like another reason to visit the city. I know some of the places you showed. I’ll definitely visit all of them. Gracias y saludos! 👍🏻👏🏻
Hey!😳 this is actually a pretty good video! 📹 👌 I like your explanations and your editing is very good that it keeps me interested in it! Good job Sir 👏👏👏 Good job!👍
You are talking about the modern architecture but CDMX is known by "the city of the palaces" The colonial architecture is beautifull!! And if u come to Mexico you MUST go to the Antropology museum, it is amazing and has a big "shower sculpiture".
Yes, Colonial Architecture is much more famous in Mexico City than Modernist Architecture, that is why I focused on it. I mentioned the Anthropology Museum in the video and this one of the best museums in the world in my opinion.
Great video! I would add to the list: 1. Anahuacalli Museum 2. José Vasconselos Library 3. Bacardi Industrial Facilities 4. Jumex Museum 5. Reforma Tower 6. Teacher's National School
Museo El Eco , en los 80s era un Teatro Centro Cultural Isabelino , dónde había arte ( musica de todo tipo, exposiciones de todo tipo, Teatro , hasta cursos de verano para pequeños , grandes recuerdo que viví el foro.teatralnera de madera , aquí era EL ECO museo del diseño original Mathias Goeritz
Mexico City has a rich architectural and historical heritage. My favorite buildings are the old hotels and apartment buildings from the 1930s to the 1950s that made Mexico City a world top destination to visit every year!
I wish I can answer this question. 82% of the traffic of this video is "Browse features" and it started getting views only a month later after uploading.
@@AndriiZhulidov yeah I got some1 that is sabotaging my watch time. so I'm still gona do concrete but im actually gona start a different channel in a different niche. take care
Bro, hiciste un excelente trabajo de investigación, quizá para la otra puedes hablar de Michelle Rojkind, Isaac Broid, y Alberto Kalach, referentes de la arquitectura contemporánea mexicana!!!
Hope this video drives attention to structures like Los Manantiales, to be again in full function. Thanks for the video, I'm Mexican and I didn't knew a lot of those structures.
Great video ! If one day you’re back to Mexico city check “biblioteca Vasconcelos” and near by is “el museo del Chopo” (3 floors huge museum made of iron) and same area el Kiosko Morisco, then eat pozole in la casa de Toño ... nice piece of traditional architecture home like small hacienda or plaza Also in Chapultepec there’s an area called “la segunda sección” and in there you can find some huge monuments and fountains, my favorite are some giant snakes eating themselves surrounding a lighthouse ... is like tripping ! Also check the inside of Bella’s artes
@@AndriiZhulidov out of Vasconcelos library, on Saturdays there’s an underground street market where punks, gothic and rock culture gather ... you might be interested. Also in Sunday’s on reforma street close to Tlatelolco there’s a market with antiques and vintage stuff, some forniture also ... very urban thing but fun ... also some cool food ... the name is Mercado de la lagunilla, “ la Lagu”
Dear Andrii, I would assume that you are an architect? is that correct? Art Deco, Art Nouveau and Baroque are the most common architecture styles in Mexico but also Churrigueresque. As you said many modern artists have worked amazing sculptures and buildings. You should consider writing a book about this work.
Thank you Jullien! Yes, I'm an architect and I'm really interested in modern architecture and art as well. I appreciate Art Deco and other styles, but I don't feel to be very connected and desire to explore them, so focus is on modern architecture. I'm not sure about the book, but I would love to do one more video about architecture in Mexico City. Hope, I'll find time for that!
Of course there are fantastic architectural treasures in DF. But I think maybe that as a whole architecture in Mexico is still a growing force. Mexico is considered an "emerging market" economy. I think that might be the reason architecture as a whole is not fully developed yet when compared to first world nations. (2021 the per capita income in Mexico is estimated to be $8927 USD and in the United States $58510 USD, China $10,431 USD). A surplus of capital is often the first ingredient for a robust attitude to new architectural movements. That being said, some of my favorite buildings are in Mexico. And the amazing architectural designs there also have a less corporate feeling than many celebrated buildings in the other parts of the world. And this is a good thing.
México is the third most visited country in the world, and everyone is talking about the hundreds of American and Canadian citizens that have moved to Mexico City recently for the nice weather and fall in love with this beautiful city.
Underrated by whom? We mexicanas are very well aware of the beauty of our cities and not just that but of our beautiful and rich culture. If Americans know nothin about of our cities, it doesn’t mean that they are underrated because they aren’t.
We know it, others don't necessarily so. If they don't know about our architecture, they simply have no idea how amazing it is. Relax... Thanks for your video, Andrii!
The Torre Reforma (a skyscraper without columns) Plaza Parques Toreo, Plaza Manacar, Plaza Antara, Plaza Garden Santa Fe, Reforma 222, Liverpool Insurgentes, Torre Pantalón, Torre Virreyes, Old historic Buildings, etc
Luis Barragan 1902-2088 (186 years old) 👴 Ive always loved the architecture of my city and felt grateful for all the art we have on the streets ❤ thanks for the video
Wonderful explanation and greetings for your comments , few people have a lot a information about me Ivan architectures in today times an you are bless of knowledge about Mexican architectural in modern Mexico City.
Thank you for watching Nancy! I wish I would have time to do a second part to this video, as people in the comments suggested me so many other great spots in the city!
Thank you for this video, I am mexican and I love my city, there is always so much to see and to do here, and architecture is very interesting, you are right, Mexico is not more dangerous than any other big city in the world, (I lived in Paris for 8 years), what I could suggest is to hire a car with chauffeur and make a plan ahead for places to visit, there are some people who love to show you around the architectural styles, some of them are architects themselves, I think you can find them in google. I agree with you about the climate, its sometimes very hot, I always carry a small umbrella in my purse. May through october is the rainy season, the best time of the year to visit is mid october to mid february. I used to take people downtown to see aztec ruins and colonial buildings but now I’m retired and live south of Mexico City in Cuernavaca. I wish you a very happy stay in my beloved Mexico city the next time you come. You will find much more interesting buildings and architecture than you have shown us in this video. Much love from Mexico ❤️🇲🇽
Thank you very much for your nice comment! I've been to Cuernavaca and I like Jardin Borda. I feel like January and February are the months to be in CDMX.
Hola! Gracias por ver. Sí, realmente disfruto de la arquitectura mexicana y traté de mostrar cuán impresionante es la arquitectura moderna y presentar arquitectos mexicanos famosos.
You missed one of my favorites, Biblioteca Vasconcelos. Also not exactly inside Mexico City (it's in Naucalpan, not too far from the city), you should check out "El nido de Quetzatcoatl" by Javier Senosiain.
Yes, Biblioteca Vasconcelos is on my list, so many people mentioned it! Thank you! Also, you missed the part where I mentioned "El nido de Quetzatcoatl", it is a private property and I was not able to book airbnb there. But Casa Organica by Senosiain is open for tours!
Hi bro i'm from México city, You should go to "las capuchinas" by Luis Barragán, "muac" by Teodoro Gonzáles de león, "museo del eco" by goeritz, "The libriry José Vasconcelos" by Alberto Kalach, "the museum anahuacalli" by Diego rivera and Juan ogorman also You can visit the new extensión by Mauricio Rocha, "casa prieto López" and "casa Gálvez" by Barragán as well.i'm Very happy that You enjoy our beautiful arquitecture.
@@alexangel1787 This war is really far away from Mexico, and I'm pretty sure those Mexicans don't know and don't understand the history of Ukraine and Russia. This is not a football game, where you choose a team to cheer for. This is real war, with a lot of deaths, cruelty and destruction. I don't care with whom those uneducated Mexicans stand with, because it doesn't even matter. People who stand with Ukraine: send humanitarian help, donate, take part in protests and really act to help. I'm pretty sure the Mexicans who "stand with Russia", didn't even send 1 peso to Russia to support them, that is why their support of Russia doesn't matter.
I can't belive it, nobody has mention him...!. Andrii, you must know Carlos Mijares Bracho (1930-2015), his work is like a mix of Mario Botta and M. C. Escher (1898-1972)... He will blow your mind... I recomend you specially his Christ Church building (1988-90), here in Mexico City. I also recomend you younger architects like Frida Escobedo and Tatiana Bilbao, and the long term project from Abraham Cruzvillegas, Autoconstrucción (something like Self-construction, Auto-construction o Self-build), a contemporary art project which cames from own Cruzvillegas familiar expirience in the Ajusco neighborhood, Mexico City, survival process which results very common in the humble people of Mexico. Another mexican, but architect, is Oscar Hagerman, his chair design and sustainable houses inspired in popular constructions and materials are amazing... Did you visited Kurimanzutto Gallery here en Mexico City?... it's another project of architectural restauration by Alberto Kalach
Wow! Eduardo, thank you very much! I added everything you mentioned to my list and will do a research on the architects you mentioned! This is amazing! and you are right, no one mentioned what you mentioned!
A estas grandes obras me hubiera gustado que sumaras a las oficinas centrales del Instituto del Fondo Nacional para la Vivienda de los Trabajadores (INFONAVIT) obra de los arquitectos Teodoro González de León y Abraham Zabludovsky, las instalaciones del Mercado de Granaditas, conocido como la zapatería mas grande del mundo obra del arquitecto Pedro Ramírez Vázquez y por ultimo la Biblioteca Vasconcelos del los arquitectos Alberto Kalach y Juan Palomar Verea.
Muchas gracias por tus grandes adiciones! La hermosa ciudad de Mexico tiene una arquitectura tan grandiosa que es imposible cubrirla toda de una sola vez.
Mexico City, the place where with some changes it became a Cyberpunk City for film in the budget: Total Recall. And the locations still almost the same, so yes, we live in a cyberpunk City already.
Unique video, great information!, but you forgot to show the stadium of UNAM IN CU!!, which is is a UNESCO World Heritage!! In this stadium PUMAS-UNAM play soccer, you should go to watch a game! ;)
@@AndriiZhulidov OOOps I missed that part of the video!, but I it watched again :). And yess you will enjoy the game and I am sure you will get a lot of new viewers and follower of PUMAS team (including me), did you know our University UNAM is the University with more followers in twitter in the world?, Well deserved! Enjoy our beautiful CDMX!
The arquitecture is New forr the buildings along to Reform avenue, and everywhere in the City., such building as BBVA in Chapultepec was built in 2016, as well as Mitihka shopping mall center , located at churubusco Southwest zon, Pedro Ramirez Vasquez Arquitecture works include woldwide famous Aztec Stadium soccer venue for América club, people will know our building when they start to move their head and eyes towards our City in the way México is more influencia
@@AndriiZhulidov As I saw it is a very interesting and diverse city with huge architecrural heritage. So it will be interesting to visit it. And some other argentinian cities as well, for example - Mendoza, Rosario and Bariloche.
Mexico City is really not hot, in fact in the Summer I consider it a good alternative to the beaches, which are hot. I just visited a couple of weeks ago in the middle of July. In the day temperatures in the low 70's and at night in the 50's and I was cloudy and rained every day.
I love México City because there is where I can see all the mexican essence. I agree with you, I belive that México city has a lot to show for the world, but the problem about insecurity it's something that scares the tourists. I'm from Zacatecas, México, one of the most beautiful cities because its arquitecture but has low tourism due the terrible insecurity that we are living today. I really recommend Zacatecas to visit but You must be carefull. Greetings! (PD: I'm sorry for My English, I try my best)
Thank you very much for your comment! Don't worry, your English is great! I've never been to Zacatecas, just googled and it looks like very nice town. I might visit it one day! Thank you for recommendations!
@@AndriiZhulidov Zacatecas has some new modern buildings architecturally speaking. However the city is mainly known for its extensive colonial architecture. It probably has the best colonial architecture in Mexico alongside Mexico City, Guadalajara, Guanajuato, and Puebla, since Zacatecas was early on the 2nd largest city in Mexico after the Spanish settled there (over time surpassed by other cities) and it was the main producer of silver for the Spanish Empire for years. It has a famous 19th century bullring now a coverted hotel named Quinta Real and one of the best preserved remaining colonial era aqueducts in Mexico. Also has many museums of interest from Pedro Coronel (with works by Dali, Picasso, Kandinsky, Goya, Miro, etc.), to international abstract art museum Manuel Felguerez, and a closed mine--Mina el Eden, converted to a geological museum and tour. The entire city's historic core was one of Mexico's first colonial cities designated a UNESCO world heritage site. If colonial era architecture especially baroque, romanesque, and gothic is not of interest however I think other Mexican cities have better modern architecture from the 20th and 21st centuries.
The problem with people is that they live in a parallel reality, you talk about Mexico City being insecure perhaps without knowing it, however, the reality is that Zacatecas has two of the three most insecure cities in the country which are Fresnillo and Zacatecas, the third is Ciudad Obregón. Another thing they point out is the poor quality of their transport, nothing more false: Mexico City has a very good and diversified transport system. El problema con la gente es que vive en una realidad paralela, hablas de que la Ciudad de México es insegura tal vez sin conocerla, sin embargo, la realidad es que Zacatecas tiene dos de las tres ciudades más inseguras del país que son Fresnillo y Zacatecas., la tercera es Ciudad Obregón. Otro punto que señalan es la mala calidad de su transporte, nada más falso: La ciudad de México tiene un sistema de transporte muy bueno y diversificado.
This is pretty correct. I’m disappointed as a Mexican who goes to Mexico City to visit places the amount of obstacles that people have to go thru for the simple appreciation and documentation (personal use) of architecture. Despite the large business that is tourism for this country, and it’s importance, they have neglected to make these sites accessible by opening to visitors by means of affordability and and conservation. It’s a shame!
Thank you for your comment! I think it is always about the priorities. The city with a population of 22 million people in developing economy will always have more needs than figure out an easy and convenience way to appreciate architecture. But you know, on the other hand, for someone who truly appreciate architecture, it is like a hunt to find it and it can bring even more joy. Yes, it will limit the amount of people who are ready for this, but I guess at some point it will be addressed.
CDMX Tiene muy bonita Arquitectura y una gran cantidad de museos buenísimos, Es peligroso al igual que cualquier ciudad grande del mundo, ciudad de los Angeles en California Estados Unidos también es peligroso lo mismo que Madrid en España.

Great video, going to Mexico City in 2 days and can't wait to see all of these places!! I never cared for architecture until I read Ayn Rand's Fountainhead, I strongly strongly recommend it and absolutely sure you will love it!
Thank you! I hope you enjoy architecture of Mexico City! I've heardd about this book, now I'll to read it for sure! Thank you for your recommendation!
Love me some Mexican Architecture.
Library Vasconcelos 🥇
Thanks! I plan to go there!
Great video. O'Gormans work reminds me of bauhaus.. That is a shame about Los Manantilas. I was in CDMX last year and was very taken by colonial architecture. The dilapidated is part of the beauty. Thanks for making me aware of modernism there. I'll be back!
Me encanto tu trabajo. Gracias
Gracias por ver!
Thank you for your video! My favorite building is UNAM Library. I love my Mexico City. All the best for your. Blessings
Hi Rocio! Thank you very much! UNAM Library is also one of my favorite, I just like to look at the murals, every time I find something new!
If you ever go back to CDMX you can visit the Library "Biblioteca Vasconcelos" i heard it was closed due to covid but it might be open, the more modern architecture of CDMX is located in "Parque la Mexicana" wich used to be a mine, then became the city's duming ground of trash and now a modern business hub
Thank you! Library is on my list, yes it was closed at some point when I wanted to visit it, so will try to go there again. I've been to Parque la Mexicana and I like it a lot! I wish they would have a bigger parking lot, haha!
Great vídeo , and Nice to see someone that knows and appreciate the mexican arquitecture
Thank you very much! Mexican Architecture indeed deserves to be appreciated!
MEXICO CITY IS THE BEST WEATHER ALL YEAR LONG IN ALL NORTH AMERICA..!😍
Yes, due to elevation it is not that hot in the summer.
*Wow, indeed you were roaming the city for few days to make your video*
*It takes time to go to one place too another; Satelite, la Cineteca Nacional, Polanco, la casa de Barragán etc, great job!*
Thank you! I wanted to show more, but realized how hard it is to get around in Mexico City.
@@AndriiZhulidov
It is and it's not; it is because of the distances and it's not because the city is mostly well communicated everywhere, trains, buses micro buses and others run constantly and worst case scenario... Uber!
I live in Alberta Canada and the city transport is not the best for a "first world" city (so I don't believe in those labels anymore) if you finished your shift by midnight you're screwed if you don't have a car or live too far, commuting becomes 2 or 5 fold times car commuting
But back to the video, it was great video and excellently done and yes still many places left out
You're still in Mexico?
Great video! There is an error with Luis Barragan date.
Love your enthusiasm and insight! Hope the tourism board takes notice, because your suggestions are valid. I really liked that architect's lifted studio, too, with the spiral staircase. Did you return for the exhibition?
Thank you! Unfortunately, I had to go to states for work and was not able to attend the exhibition. When I'm back, I'll check it out again to see if it is still on.
@@AndriiZhulidovNice. I'm in Texas rn. That building reminded me a little of Geisel Library in Southern California, very space-age-ish and cool. I just googled "Mexico City" and "architecture" when I found your vid. I like the lens through which you viewed urban spaces! Thanks again for sharing.
Hola! I liked a lot your video. Thanks for showing this beautiful examples of awesome architecture in Mexico City. I agree with you they there should be more promotion about this like another reason to visit the city. I know some of the places you showed. I’ll definitely visit all of them. Gracias y saludos! 👍🏻👏🏻
Він Українець і мій друг
Thank you for your feedback! Yes, Mexico City has fantastic architecture!
Hey!😳 this is actually a pretty good video! 📹 👌 I like your explanations and your editing is very good that it keeps me interested in it! Good job Sir 👏👏👏 Good job!👍
Thank you very much for watching and leaving your comment! It inspires me to make more videos like this!
You are talking about the modern architecture but CDMX is known by "the city of the palaces" The colonial architecture is beautifull!! And if u come to Mexico you MUST go to the Antropology museum, it is amazing and has a big "shower sculpiture".
Yes, Colonial Architecture is much more famous in Mexico City than Modernist Architecture, that is why I focused on it. I mentioned the Anthropology Museum in the video and this one of the best museums in the world in my opinion.
My favorite tower sky, is Torre Reforma (amazing). Thank you Andrii for this video.
Thank you!
Torre Reforma? Pfft! Have the worst design.
@@J-ONE1989
I appreciate your comment.
I tell you that in 2018 Torre Reforma, won the award for the Best Skyscraper in the World.
Kind regards.
See Torre Reforma in Mexico City. Won a design award for innovation in 2018. Also as others have said Biblioteca Vasconcelos library.
Yep! Many people mentioned these buildings! Thank you!
Great video! I would add to the list:
1. Anahuacalli Museum
2. José Vasconselos Library
3. Bacardi Industrial Facilities
4. Jumex Museum
5. Reforma Tower
6. Teacher's National School
la Bacardi y la normal no están abiertas al público.
Thank you! Did you mean National School of Theater, because I didn't find Teacher's National School building.
@@AndriiZhulidov The name is Benemérita Escuela Nacional de Maestros, unfortunately its not open to the public.
Thanks for introducing Mexico City!
Yes. Museo El Eco in Sullivan Street is a must and is well kept by the UNAM.
This museum looks awesome! Thank you! It is on my list now!
Museo El Eco , en los 80s era un Teatro Centro Cultural Isabelino , dónde había arte ( musica de todo tipo, exposiciones de todo tipo, Teatro , hasta cursos de verano para pequeños , grandes recuerdo que viví el foro.teatralnera de madera , aquí era EL ECO museo del diseño original Mathias Goeritz
Interesting
I tink your content its interesting and well documented
Thank you very much!
Thanks for the suggestions. I look forward to visiting some of those buildings during my next visit to CDMX.
You are very welcome! Thank you for watching!
Mexico City has a rich architectural and historical heritage. My favorite buildings are the old hotels and apartment buildings from the 1930s to the 1950s that made Mexico City a world top destination to visit every year!
Excelente Video 👌👌👌!!!!! Grandes Maestros con una gran variedad de Estilismo y Diseños ....Gran investigación Felicidades !!!
Gracias!
How did u get so many views on this 1 project? Did u share it anywhere?
I wish I can answer this question. 82% of the traffic of this video is "Browse features" and it started getting views only a month later after uploading.
@@AndriiZhulidov thank u, I was jw, I'm a creator as well. Good job
@@GRUBB-MUDD You are welcome! Awesome that you have your own field of expertise where you can grow! Great job!
@@AndriiZhulidov yeah I got some1 that is sabotaging my watch time. so I'm still gona do concrete but im actually gona start a different channel in a different niche. take care
Bro, hiciste un excelente trabajo de investigación, quizá para la otra puedes hablar de Michelle Rojkind, Isaac Broid, y Alberto Kalach, referentes de la arquitectura contemporánea mexicana!!!
I think this should be the whole another video "Mexican Architecture today!" Thank you!
Hope this video drives attention to structures like Los Manantiales, to be again in full function. Thanks for the video, I'm Mexican and I didn't knew a lot of those structures.
I hope too, I really like Los Manantiales. I studied that building long time ago doing Master degree in Architecture.
Great video !
If one day you’re back to Mexico city check “biblioteca Vasconcelos” and near by is “el museo del Chopo” (3 floors huge museum made of iron) and same area el Kiosko Morisco, then eat pozole in la casa de Toño ... nice piece of traditional architecture home like small hacienda or plaza
Also in Chapultepec there’s an area called “la segunda sección” and in there you can find some huge monuments and fountains, my favorite are some giant snakes eating themselves surrounding a lighthouse ... is like tripping !
Also check the inside of Bella’s artes
Thank you very much! I'm back to Mexico and I plan to do a second video. Will definitely visit Vasconcelos library and Chopo Museum.
@@AndriiZhulidov out of Vasconcelos library, on Saturdays there’s an underground street market where punks, gothic and rock culture gather ... you might be interested.
Also in Sunday’s on reforma street close to Tlatelolco there’s a market with antiques and vintage stuff, some forniture also ... very urban thing but fun ... also some cool food ... the name is Mercado de la lagunilla, “ la Lagu”
Amazing observations , good places to look for next time I visit there.
Thank you!
Mexico is stunning, CLEAN and unique
There is lot of street art in Mexico, there are a lot of neighborhoods so precious.
But the most enjoyable thing of the city is its people...
This is true! 🇲🇽
Gran investigación... Mexico es maravilloso
Muchas gracias! Próximamente publicaré más videos sobre México!
You must visit National Museum of Art, it’s just wow
Okay! Will do! I used to buy coffee on the corner near the museum every morning for a couple of weeks, but never thought about going to the museum!
Dear Andrii, I would assume that you are an architect? is that correct? Art Deco, Art Nouveau and Baroque are the most common architecture styles in Mexico but also Churrigueresque. As you said many modern artists have worked amazing sculptures and buildings. You should consider writing a book about this work.
Thank you Jullien! Yes, I'm an architect and I'm really interested in modern architecture and art as well. I appreciate Art Deco and other styles, but I don't feel to be very connected and desire to explore them, so focus is on modern architecture. I'm not sure about the book, but I would love to do one more video about architecture in Mexico City. Hope, I'll find time for that!
Of course there are fantastic architectural treasures in DF. But I think maybe that as a whole architecture in Mexico is still a growing force. Mexico is considered an "emerging market" economy. I think that might be the reason architecture as a whole is not fully developed yet when compared to first world nations. (2021 the per capita income in Mexico is estimated to be $8927 USD and in the United States $58510 USD, China $10,431 USD). A surplus of capital is often the first ingredient for a robust attitude to new architectural movements. That being said, some of my favorite buildings are in Mexico. And the amazing architectural designs there also have a less corporate feeling than many celebrated buildings in the other parts of the world. And this is a good thing.
Thank you for your comment! I like how you think about it! Also, I like a lot how you say about less corporate feeling.
México is the third most visited country in the world, and everyone is talking about the hundreds of American and Canadian citizens that have moved to Mexico City recently for the nice weather and fall in love with this beautiful city.
Underrated by whom? We mexicanas are very well aware of the beauty of our cities and not just that but of our beautiful and rich culture. If Americans know nothin about of our cities, it doesn’t mean that they are underrated because they aren’t.
I explained that in the video.
We know it, others don't necessarily so. If they don't know about our architecture, they simply have no idea how amazing it is. Relax...
Thanks for your video, Andrii!
The Torre Reforma (a skyscraper without columns) Plaza Parques Toreo, Plaza Manacar, Plaza Antara, Plaza Garden Santa Fe, Reforma 222, Liverpool Insurgentes, Torre Pantalón, Torre Virreyes, Old historic Buildings, etc
Thank you very much! I haven't seen those Plazas that you mentions and they look very cool on the pictures. I have to see them in real life!
Luis Barragan 1902-2088 (186 years old) 👴
Ive always loved the architecture of my city and felt grateful for all the art we have on the streets ❤ thanks for the video
There are a lot of things to be grateful for in Mexico City. Yeah, ahaha, Luis Barragan is a Mexican Architectural Superhero!
Wonderful explanation and greetings for your comments , few people have a lot a information about me Ivan architectures in today times an you are bless of knowledge about Mexican architectural in modern Mexico City.
Thank you for your kind words! This video is such a success that I have to make another one! 😀
Wow 😳 nice 👍 video thank you for sharing
Thank you for watching!
you should include the Torre Mayor and there are other modern buildings right there or visit Santa Fe there are many very modern buildings
CDMX has so many great buildings that it is impossible to include all of them! Thank you for mentioning another cool building!
Thank you for posting this
Thank you for watching Nancy! I wish I would have time to do a second part to this video, as people in the comments suggested me so many other great spots in the city!
Luis Barragan 1902-2088. 186 years old. Legend.
Long Live the Master!
Thank you for this video, I am mexican and I love my city, there is always so much to see and to do here, and architecture is very interesting, you are right, Mexico is not more dangerous than any other big city in the world, (I lived in Paris for 8 years), what I could suggest is to hire a car with chauffeur and make a plan ahead for places to visit, there are some people who love to show you around the architectural styles, some of them are architects themselves, I think you can find them in google. I agree with you about the climate, its sometimes very hot, I always carry a small umbrella in my purse. May through october is the rainy season, the best time of the year to visit is mid october to mid february. I used to take people downtown to see aztec ruins and colonial buildings but now I’m retired and live south of Mexico City in Cuernavaca. I wish you a very happy stay in my beloved Mexico city the next time you come. You will find much more interesting buildings and architecture than you have shown us in this video.
Much love from Mexico ❤️🇲🇽
Thank you very much for your nice comment! I've been to Cuernavaca and I like Jardin Borda. I feel like January and February are the months to be in CDMX.
Please visit casa Barragan, CENART, el Chopo Museum, Anahuacalli, La Mexicana at Santa Fe, or the botanical garden at Parque Bicentenario.
Thank you very much! El Chopo and Parque Bicentenario are new for me, added to my list!
thanks for this video 🙌🏼
Thank you for watching!
Eres honesto y eso me agrada, tienes mi like. Excelente video.
Muchas gracias Francisco!
Awesome !!!!!!
Great video 👍🏻
Thanks!
Biblioteca Vasconcelos, it's a must for you!
Thank you! This is probably number one suggestion in comments! 😀
Mexican here, great video. 👌
Thank you very much!
I like him because he shows so much that others don't bother to look for.
Thank you! I appreciate it a lot!
You're also missing La biblioteca Vasconcelos, but thanks for making a video about our modern architecure in cdmx!
Thank you for watching! I plan to see the library for sure!!!
Excellent video!
Thank you very much! Happy you liked it!
If you come to Ixtapa in the state of Guerrero viist the hotel Las Brisas, is from Luis Barragan and is awesome and monumental
I just googled it and it looks amazing! Thanks for recommendations.
I'm no understand English pero parece que le gustó mucho andar de acá para allá
Hola! Gracias por ver. Sí, realmente disfruto de la arquitectura mexicana y traté de mostrar cuán impresionante es la arquitectura moderna y presentar arquitectos mexicanos famosos.
@@AndriiZhulidov gracias soy arquitecto y vivo cerca de esas zonas del sur de la cdmx
Museo tamayo is my absolute favourite museum, however my favourite building in cdmx is correos,
Tamayo has amazing flow of interior space! I like it a lot!
Great video, now i want to visit Cinética Nacional, thanks bro
Please visit, it is nice place!
Welcome to México, congratulacions.nice video
Thank you!
You missed one of my favorites, Biblioteca Vasconcelos. Also not exactly inside Mexico City (it's in Naucalpan, not too far from the city), you should check out "El nido de Quetzatcoatl" by Javier Senosiain.
Yes, Biblioteca Vasconcelos is on my list, so many people mentioned it! Thank you!
Also, you missed the part where I mentioned "El nido de Quetzatcoatl", it is a private property and I was not able to book airbnb there. But Casa Organica by Senosiain is open for tours!
Hi bro i'm from México city, You should go to "las capuchinas" by Luis Barragán, "muac" by Teodoro Gonzáles de león, "museo del eco" by goeritz, "The libriry José Vasconcelos" by Alberto Kalach, "the museum anahuacalli" by Diego rivera and Juan ogorman also You can visit the new extensión by Mauricio Rocha, "casa prieto López" and "casa Gálvez" by Barragán as well.i'm Very happy that You enjoy our beautiful arquitecture.
Hey Antonio! Wow, you suggested a lot of cool buildings to visit! I appreciate it a lot! Thank you very much!
Loved the blue and yellow sculpture! Ukrainian vibes in Mexico 😍🇺🇦
Do you mean big yellow horse on blue base? This is Torre Caballito and I love this huge sculpture. ✊🏻🇺🇦
Actually if you ask most mexicans stand with Russia
@@alexangel1787 This war is really far away from Mexico, and I'm pretty sure those Mexicans don't know and don't understand the history of Ukraine and Russia. This is not a football game, where you choose a team to cheer for. This is real war, with a lot of deaths, cruelty and destruction. I don't care with whom those uneducated Mexicans stand with, because it doesn't even matter. People who stand with Ukraine: send humanitarian help, donate, take part in protests and really act to help. I'm pretty sure the Mexicans who "stand with Russia", didn't even send 1 peso to Russia to support them, that is why their support of Russia doesn't matter.
I visited el Nido de Quetzacoaltl it is amazing
Wow! Lucky you! Haha! I want to visit it one day as well!
Don't forget biblioteca Vasconcelos. Amazing
Will go there for sure!
Talking about architecture, had you been in Santa Fe, México City? If not, check the architecture there.👍😊
Yes, I've been to La Mexicana Park and around the Santa Fe! I liked it!
Great video
Happy you liked it! Thank you for watching!
would have been cool if you make a video of the cdmx skyscrapers
Excelente tu video amigo!!!
Thank you very much!
Finally videos about Mexico City that are not about tacos and Condesa
luis barragan 1902-2088 :)......definitely recommend showing off Torre Virreyes its like a dorito standing on a tip
Lol! Good catch! This is because Luis Barragan is immortal, haha. Torre Virreyes is pretty cool building, I like it!
I can't belive it, nobody has mention him...!. Andrii, you must know Carlos Mijares Bracho (1930-2015), his work is like a mix of Mario Botta and M. C. Escher (1898-1972)... He will blow your mind... I recomend you specially his Christ Church building (1988-90), here in Mexico City.
I also recomend you younger architects like Frida Escobedo and Tatiana Bilbao, and the long term project from Abraham Cruzvillegas, Autoconstrucción (something like Self-construction, Auto-construction o Self-build), a contemporary art project which cames from own Cruzvillegas familiar expirience in the Ajusco neighborhood, Mexico City, survival process which results very common in the humble people of Mexico. Another mexican, but architect, is Oscar Hagerman, his chair design and sustainable houses inspired in popular constructions and materials are amazing...
Did you visited Kurimanzutto Gallery here en Mexico City?... it's another project of architectural restauration by Alberto Kalach
Wow! Eduardo, thank you very much! I added everything you mentioned to my list and will do a research on the architects you mentioned! This is amazing! and you are right, no one mentioned what you mentioned!
A estas grandes obras me hubiera gustado que sumaras a las oficinas centrales del Instituto del Fondo Nacional para la Vivienda de los Trabajadores (INFONAVIT) obra de los arquitectos Teodoro González de León y Abraham Zabludovsky, las instalaciones del Mercado de Granaditas, conocido como la zapatería mas grande del mundo obra del arquitecto Pedro Ramírez Vázquez y por ultimo la Biblioteca Vasconcelos del los arquitectos Alberto Kalach y Juan Palomar Verea.
Muchas gracias por tus grandes adiciones! La hermosa ciudad de Mexico tiene una arquitectura tan grandiosa que es imposible cubrirla toda de una sola vez.
Mexico City, the place where with some changes it became a Cyberpunk City for film in the budget: Total Recall. And the locations still almost the same, so yes, we live in a cyberpunk City already.
Unique video, great information!, but you forgot to show the stadium of UNAM IN CU!!, which is is a UNESCO World Heritage!! In this stadium PUMAS-UNAM play soccer, you should go to watch a game! ;)
Thank you! I just checked and I briefly showed the stadium on 1:33. It is great idea to see the PUMAS game!
@@AndriiZhulidov OOOps I missed that part of the video!, but I it watched again :). And yess you will enjoy the game and I am sure you will get a lot of new viewers and follower of PUMAS team (including me), did you know our University UNAM is the University with more followers in twitter in the world?, Well deserved! Enjoy our beautiful CDMX!
The arquitecture is New forr the buildings along to Reform avenue, and everywhere in the City., such building as BBVA in Chapultepec was built in 2016, as well as Mitihka shopping mall center , located at churubusco Southwest zon, Pedro Ramirez Vasquez Arquitecture works include woldwide famous Aztec Stadium soccer venue for América club, people will know our building when they start to move their head and eyes towards our City in the way México is more influencia
You should visit El colegio de México/the UPN/the FCE. It's an amazing show of the brutalist work of the Teodoro Gonzalez de león
Thank you! Added to my list of "Architecture to see".
Wow, Mexico city seems to be really interesting. But If I could travel now I'll visit Buenos-Aires first)
Why Buenos Aires is on the top of your list?
@@AndriiZhulidov As I saw it is a very interesting and diverse city with huge architecrural heritage. So it will be interesting to visit it. And some other argentinian cities as well, for example - Mendoza, Rosario and Bariloche.
Mas bien desconocida, Mexico tiene arquitectos supertalentosos y reconocidos a nivel internacional
Esto es muy cierto!
Mexico City is really not hot, in fact in the Summer I consider it a good alternative to the beaches, which are hot. I just visited a couple of weeks ago in the middle of July. In the day temperatures in the low 70's and at night in the 50's and I was cloudy and rained every day.
The hottest in Mexico City is in April!
Liked it a los man!!
Thank you!
I love México City because there is where I can see all the mexican essence. I agree with you, I belive that México city has a lot to show for the world, but the problem about insecurity it's something that scares the tourists. I'm from Zacatecas, México, one of the most beautiful cities because its arquitecture but has low tourism due the terrible insecurity that we are living today. I really recommend Zacatecas to visit but You must be carefull. Greetings! (PD: I'm sorry for My English, I try my best)
Thank you very much for your comment! Don't worry, your English is great! I've never been to Zacatecas, just googled and it looks like very nice town. I might visit it one day! Thank you for recommendations!
@@AndriiZhulidov Zacatecas has some new modern buildings architecturally speaking. However the city is mainly known for its extensive colonial architecture. It probably has the best colonial architecture in Mexico alongside Mexico City, Guadalajara, Guanajuato, and Puebla, since Zacatecas was early on the 2nd largest city in Mexico after the Spanish settled there (over time surpassed by other cities) and it was the main producer of silver for the Spanish Empire for years. It has a famous 19th century bullring now a coverted hotel named Quinta Real and one of the best preserved remaining colonial era aqueducts in Mexico. Also has many museums of interest from Pedro Coronel (with works by Dali, Picasso, Kandinsky, Goya, Miro, etc.), to international abstract art museum Manuel Felguerez, and a closed mine--Mina el Eden, converted to a geological museum and tour.
The entire city's historic core was one of Mexico's first colonial cities designated a UNESCO world heritage site.
If colonial era architecture especially baroque, romanesque, and gothic is not of interest however I think other Mexican cities have better modern architecture from the 20th and 21st centuries.
The problem with people is that they live in a parallel reality, you talk about Mexico City being insecure perhaps without knowing it, however, the reality is that Zacatecas has two of the three most insecure cities in the country which are Fresnillo and Zacatecas, the third is Ciudad Obregón. Another thing they point out is the poor quality of their transport, nothing more false: Mexico City has a very good and diversified transport system.
El problema con la gente es que vive en una realidad paralela, hablas de que la Ciudad de México es insegura tal vez sin conocerla, sin embargo, la realidad es que Zacatecas tiene dos de las tres ciudades más inseguras del país que son Fresnillo y Zacatecas., la tercera es Ciudad Obregón. Otro punto que señalan es la mala calidad de su transporte, nada más falso: La ciudad de México tiene un sistema de transporte muy bueno y diversificado.
This is pretty correct. I’m disappointed as a Mexican who goes to Mexico City to visit places the amount of obstacles that people have to go thru for the simple appreciation and documentation (personal use) of architecture. Despite the large business that is tourism for this country, and it’s importance, they have neglected to make these sites accessible by opening to visitors by means of affordability and and conservation. It’s a shame!
Thank you for your comment! I think it is always about the priorities. The city with a population of 22 million people in developing economy will always have more needs than figure out an easy and convenience way to appreciate architecture. But you know, on the other hand, for someone who truly appreciate architecture, it is like a hunt to find it and it can bring even more joy. Yes, it will limit the amount of people who are ready for this, but I guess at some point it will be addressed.
Torre Latino Americana.....
Reminds me of the empire state building with a glass exterior.
this is true! it has a silhouette that kind of looks like Empire State Building!
CDMX Tiene muy bonita Arquitectura y una gran cantidad de museos buenísimos, Es peligroso al igual que cualquier ciudad grande del mundo, ciudad de los Angeles en California Estados Unidos también es peligroso lo mismo que Madrid en España.
Totalmente de acuerdo contigo. Gracias por ver!
