This exhibition seeks to contextualize the Mexicali Experimental Project, a self-built social housing complex developed in Mexico (1975–76) under the guidance of architect Christopher Alexander. Through new commissions with artists and architects, original archives, and photographs, the exhibition presents early explorations of social and radical architecture that coincided with Alexander’s theories and thinking. The exhibition includes commissions by artists Pastizal Zamudio and Cynthia Hooper, as well as original photographic archives by Howard Davis, Dorit Fromm, Peter Bosselmann, and the Christopher Alexander Center for Environmental Structure Archive. The exhibition is designed by architects Marcel Sánchez and Adriana Cuellar (CRO Studio).
