¡Qué explosión de fotos! Ya sé que tengo una deuda pendiente contigo y te escribo para decirte que la pagaré, pero quiero hacerlo con tranquilidad y pensando un poco.
Un saludo cordial

No hay palabras para describir a Uxmal... acaso será la pintura? :))) Me gustaría ir allí y estar días y pintar, pintar... yo que pinto solo paisajes humanos!

Tu sabes lo dificil que es la adolescencia de Luis... y estaba ahí como en trance ... fascinado es poco... yo también lo sentí. Según yo, la ciudad antigua que más me había impactado era Pompeya... pero Uxmal deja a Pompeya muy muy atrás!

No tienes ninguna deuda conmigo. Gracias por pasar por aquí :)

He is a people person, and he reflects that in his architecture... the project that impact me the most was the on-site extension of la Cineteca Nacional. I loved this place since I was very young and used to live in Satélite; as I am a film lover remember driving every weekend there. Later I was lucky enough to live in Coyoacan so I travelled there by bike.  I was very impressed by the fact that Rojkind's project involves the whole area of the Cineteca, he includes the Archives in his plan and leaves the old Cineteca building untouched, giving tribute to the history of this old buildi...

A leap of faith

  13 years ago I took a leap of faith and came with my family to London.  I thought it was going to be easy. It was not. I thought that because during my youth I lived in another country, and it was one of the best experiences in my life. That other country was Germany, and since then I longed for Europe, well I confess I still do… because you should know, England is not Europe. Of course this is my very personal view. I was born in Mexico City, a vibrant and chaotic city. Mexico is a surreal beautiful country. When you are abroad you worth it even more. You might wondered then, why did we decide to leave Mexico?  Well, we decided to leave Mexico because my country was becoming very insecure. It was during president Calderon’s failed drug war. Mexico was so violent that we decided to migrate for the sake of our family.  I have been very lucky to be able to travel a lot during my lifetime. When I was a kid, I was two months in China. It was the China of Mao ...
