Rituals of Architecture in the Landscape

ATELIER ARS, led by Alejandro Guerrero and Andrea Soto in Guadalajara, Mexico, is renowned for its unique blend of modernism and local craftsmanship, which seamlessly integrates architecture and landscape architecture. Instead of viewing architecture and landscape as distinct fields, ATELIER ARS investigates the cross-disciplinary possibilities that can enhance our understanding of creating human habitats.

In this lecture, they will present a series of projects that embody three core principles of their practice: the interplay between architecture and nature through landscape; the essential nature of architecture as a discipline, informed by historical context in contemporary practice; and the connection between architecture and human experience, explored through rituals and myths.
