In this course, Fernanda Canales, founder and principal of Fernanda Canales Arquitectura, examines 10 of her recent projects, five of which are residential and five that are civic, community projects. The projects, which are mostly located in rural areas of Mexico, and deal mainly with public spaces, scarcity of resources and the need to create a sense of identity. Canales explores the relationship between buildings and the environment, while examining different programs and scales, and addressing the collective implications of individual buildings.
