The Mexican architect offers new ideas about real-estate development in underrepresented areas, promoting inclusivity and community participation Caught between a zone of significant vehicular traffic and an area with the highest purchasing power in Cancún, the working-class community in the Mexican neighborhood of Donceles has been largely forgotten by the larger city to which it ostensibly belongs. With this in mind, Mexican architect Juan Carral (born 1976) conceived of Donceles Studios as a multipurpose building representative of the neighborhood's diverse social strata. In this text, Carral further explores the infrastructure of Donceles, noting its rich urban layout and its self-made architectural identity as well as its privileged location and more accessible cost of living. The result is a compelling argument for a new form of experimental real estate development based on participatory strategies and an inclusive ideology. Carral urges his fellow architects to approach real estate development with a wider lens, keeping in mind a long-term vision of the city we want to have.

On the Mexican architects of such acclaimed spaces such as New York City's Cosme and AtlaTaller ADG is an architecture studio founded in 2012 by Alonso de Garay, based in Mexico City. This first extensive monograph of its work showcases the company's range through representative projects of different scales and typologies, including stadiums, houses, apartment buildings, housing prototypes and restaurants, such as the stunning and critically acclaimed designs for the New York City restaurants of chefs Enrique Olvera and Daniela Soto-Innes, Cosme and Atla. Lush photographs and intricate architectural models present these works, which blend Mexico's rich modernist past and its equally rich vernacular architecture. A powerful exemplar of this blend is the masterful Casas Izar: twin houses set into a forested hillside that, with their illusion of low slung volumes, alternating wood-slatted sloped roofs and rooftop gardens, seem to fade into the landscape from afar but from up close and inside, display the austere open plans and cathedral-like spaces of high modernism.

Natural, upcycled and economical materials in buildings by Ecuadorian firm Al Borde"Less Is All" is the motto of Ecuadorian architecture firm Al Borde-founded in 2007 by Pascual Gangotena, David Barragán, Marialuisa Borja and Estevan Benavides. Naming Al Borde one of the top 100 architecture firms in the world in 2019, the editors of Domus wrote: "Convinced that the strength of an architectural project lies in the later autonomy of its users, Al Borde's design and decision-making process rely on the involvement of the community in all phases of planning and construction, and the systematic exploration of the local context." The materials they use and the projects they adopt reflect the state of a globalized Ecuador. For example, for their House of the Flying Beds Al Borde refurbished an 18th-century family house by restoring the rammed earth walls, installing tire rubber and recycled glass on the roof and suspending beds above the open-plan, ground-floor living area with eucalyptus trusses, thus maintaining the form of the house but turning the interior into something indubitably modern.
