The project «learning from Mexico» was born out of the curiosity of Laure Nashed. It is a platform in which she shares her experiences, insights, research and observations about Mexican building culture. The podcast is produced in collaboration with the Swiss architecture magazine werk, bauen + wohnen.
Based on the concept of the symbiosis of the local and the global, the German-Mexican architect duo Christoph Zeller and Ingrid Moye founded their architectural office Zeller & Moye explicitly as an international office with main office in Mexico City. In a conversation held a few months ago, before the coronavirus turned the world and the theme of the global upside down, the architects explained why they chose Mexico City as their base and why they see the European regulatory jungle as an obstacle to creativity.

Derek Dellekamp + Jachen Schleich
In this first episode of «learningfrommexico» I am talking to Derek Dellekamp and Jachen Schleich. They will explain how they deal with the sometimes chaotic conditions to create architecture in Mexico. They say that the protagonist of their architecture is always the structure that can't be cut out of the budget. The interview was held at their office at Plaza de la República in the middle of Mexico City, which also explains the background noises.
