TC 157- Macias Peredo architecture

TC Cuadernos Issue 157 is dedicated to Estudio Macías Peredo, presenting 17 essential projects that define their approach to and understanding of architecture.

Through a selection that includes residences, cultural spaces, and educational facilities, the book showcases how the studio leverages local construction techniques, traditional materials, and sensitivity to context to create works with strong identity and contemporary relevance.

Highlights include the Punta Caliza Hotel in Holbox, with its archetypal geometry evoking vernacular architecture, and the Casa Tejeda Housing, which reinterprets elements of the Tapatía School of Architecture, demonstrating their commitment to place and memory. Additionally, projects like the Turín Building reveal their ability to explore new housing typologies that retain a domestic spirit in urban environments.

With photographs, plans, construction details, and a foreword by Manuel Cervantes and Juan Vergara Newton, this monograph not only documents their projects but delves into how each work connects with the landscape, history, and human needs.

A volume that highlights the evolution of Macías Peredo and reaffirms their place as one of the most significant studios in contemporary Mexican architecture.
