Mac铆as Peredo - M茅xico
Exhibition
"The Language of Technique"
October 23 - November 22, 2024 | ARCH 121 Gallery
Macias Peredo鈥檚 first project was a competition-winning installation design for Pabell贸n Eco 2013 at the Museo Experimental El Eco in Mexico City. The installation was simple, but transformative. It inserted a sloping ground plane within the museum鈥檚 sunken courtyard that connected the building鈥檚 floor-to-ceiling windows with the elevated street, activating a space that had previously been restricted. Most of the studio鈥檚 work, however, is made up of residences and office projects. Standouts among the houses include Casa Arenas in Guadalajara, Casa Atlas in Zapopan, and Casa Prado in Tapalpa. Each of these projects exhibit the raw materiality, simple forms, and hand-crafted character that shows the studio鈥檚 commitment to traditional Mexican building. Meanwhile, the practice鈥檚 commercial projects, such as the Toyo Food Offices in Zapopan or the Oficinas Hidalgo, prove that is no stranger to sleek modernism.
