–
This talk examines the legacy of Mexico’s most celebrated modern architect through the lens of imposed memory by evoking his cultural significance and aesthetic vision through the medium of scent, drawing out the mythic aura that surrounds his persona through fragrances of wet clay, arid air, carpet sealant, horse stables, religion, and of course the fictitious smell of the iconic pink that adorns his buildings. The event will also address the controversial history of his archive, offering a critical reflection on authorship, access, and memory in contemporary architectural discourse
More information to come.
