Mexico City, Mexico – December 2012
Explore the location

Megacities are filled with numerous – at first sight invisible – borders. Between rich and poor, between ethnic groups, between high and low, between dense and sprawl, in short between center and periphery. But who and what define these borders? Are they problematic? Do they tell underlying stories? Mexico City seems to be full of telling borders that generate ideas on the past, present and future of the city. There is the border of the former lake, the border of the public transport systems, the border of federal states, borders for legal abortion, and possibly many more.

Six groups will explore the city along one of its borders and discuss its implications. Each group will have an ‘inside’ expert and a ‘visitor’ as tour guides. If you are interested in participating in Invisible Borders please email rsvp@archis.org, giving your name, profession and your statement of interest before October 15, 2012.
