Description
The third volume of the series also named The Architect's Studio, this book focuses on Tatiana Bilbao's exploration of the landscape: from the territory of Mexico to the interior landscape of the individual building, always taking social conditions into account. This is demonstrated in Bilbao's various projects such as the architectural design of a pilgrimage route, a botanical garden in the Mexican main trading center Culiacan, and not least the Light of Line, which is intended to enable women in particular to move more safely in remote districts of the city.

The publication also provides insights into the Mexican cultural, artistic, and building traditions that Bilbao incorporates into her projects. The volume addresses the question of the use of collages in architecture and embeds Bilbao's work in a contemporary as well as a historical context. 232 illustrations
