From the 21st to the 25th of September, the Mextrópoli Festival + XII Ibero-American Biennial of Architecture and Urbanism took place in Mexico City. As part of the event, ArchDaily spoke with 2014 Pritzker Prize winner Shigeru Ban about the central theme "Inhabiting at the margins", a proposal that sought to make visible the work of those who are providing solutions to the growing social, environmental, and economic needs at the margins of the system.
Shigeru Ban spoke from his experience of humanitarian projects in the aftermath of natural disasters. He presented his point of view by addressing the availability of material and the part technology plays in the role of architects while recalling his previous encounter with the city during the earthquake of September 2017, reflecting on the importance of creating a good team of people to bring projects to life.
