After a year of working on this process\, each one from their own objectives\, they decided to propose to the director of the Faculty of Architecture of the UNAM a new research and thesis seminar called Estudio RX that will foc us on the multiple social\, economic\, geological\, ecological\, and polit ical vulnerabilities to which our practice is closely linked\, approaching the territory from a reflective and experimental perspective as well as t he tension between praxis and academic research.\n\n \;\n\n"Academia a nd Praxis": The speakers will about their own practices\, linked to the pu blic and private space\, and also about their academic work and the way in which to this day they have generated a dialogue and a space for reflecti on with students from their own research and theirs from their professiona l experiences.\n\n \;\n\nProfessor Martin Stigsgaard will introduce th e speakers.\n\n \;\n\nSuggested Readings:\nFor Loreta:\nEl espacio pub lico como sistema hidrico paralelo\, alterno y sustentable para la ciudad de Mexico\n\nFor Gabriela:\nCarta a un estudiante de arquitectura\n\n  \;\n\n \;\n\n"Border Crossings: Architecture and Migration" in the Am ericas presents meditations on the topic of migration from nontraditional\ , creative\, and interdisciplinary perspectives. The distinguished speaker s -- architects\, landscape architects\, architecture historians\, social historians\, a philosopher\, an anthropologist\, and an attorney -- questi on conventions\, especially the conceptualization of migration as linear. They frame migration as a multivalent process\, considering the lived real ities and material conditions of migration\, historically and in the prese nt. Migration in the Americas is more than just the movement and resettlem ent of bodies\, numbers that cross lines and appear/disappear in different places. Migration is not merely (dis)placement\, it is also a metamorphos is. Migrants are human beings who are transformed to the core by their mov ement\, and they transform not only their places of departure and arrival\ , but the entire space that is filled with their journeys.\n\n \;\n\nA ll lectures are free\, open to the public\, and held in the Bernard and An ne Spitzer School of Architecture Sciame Auditorium with remote option ava ilable.
