Biblioteca Vasconcelos, stunning!

Torre Reforma, its design is timeless!. However many are very interesting and unique

Palacio de los Deportes, Torre Reforma, Castillo de Chapultepec, Toreo Parque Central, Torre Cervantes, Museo Jumex, Torre 41, Torre Virreyes, Biblioteca Vasconcelos, etc.

You are right and I like how you look at this! Also it is very rich culturally, so many periods of history! I guess for a lot of people this should be the first step to understand how many layers of culture is represented in architecture!

Visit Puebla, the architecture is very good too

@@elboy2768 I've been to Puebla, but I need to go back there to see Museo Internacional del Barroco.

@@AndriiZhulidov el centro de la ciudad es muy bonito. Además hay lugares donde hay balas en las paredes de tuenoos de la revolución, bastante histórico, y como un millón de iglesias jaja ✌️🇲🇽

@@AndriiZhulidov and there’s one small templo de Santa Maria Tonantzintla, in Cholula, Puebla; It’s a churrigueresco architecture (barroco-novohispano) It’s really beutiful and Unique.

Thank you! YEs, it was a lot of riding to get all around the city to show the architecture.

Hi Luis. Thank you for your input on La Ruta de la Amistad and for your recommendations, I'll definitely make a plan to visit them. Some of them I've already visited.

This is true! Haha! Thank you for your comment!

Yep! But it is only when you did your research about CDMX!

@@AndriiZhulidov No, it was actually the first thing I ever heard about it. CDMX is known the world over just for its architecture.

@@darkkstar5647 This is awesome!

Wow, I'm very happy to hear it! Thank you so much for your comment!

@@AndriiZhulidov I just recommended this video to You Tubers in hiatus, "The Way We Saw It". They have some excellent videos from CDMX (and around the world).

@@Vancouver_Dan I think I even saw some of their videos!

Hi Marco! Thank you for your comment! Yes, public transportation is very developed in CDMX, but still even my Mexican friends prefer to use car or uber. Allow me to disagree with you about the air pollution. Right now, in windy February you can see blue sky and have acceptable quality of air, also in rain season it is better, but other half of the year air quality stays "unhealthy for sensitive groups" or just "unhealthy". (I check air quality on my phone with BreezoMeter) Urban maintenance is pretty good: parks are clean, plants are watered, streets are mostly clean. But I was talking of the maintenance of the buildings. Just look at the facade of Torre Latinoamericana when you are there next time, it looks very unmainted. Anyway, I think CDMX has a lot of great architecture and people should know about it & enjoy it!

Very unfortunate that media in anglosphere is partial about Mexico!. The country and its Capital City are wonderful!

It is impressive when you take into understanding the seismic activity.

@@AndriiZhulidov I think those friends are whitexicans, there is more about the city than whitexicans from la Roma or la Condesa 😂😂😂😂

Thank you! I will check them out!

You are right! Thank you!

La mas antigua es Santo Domingo y también La Habana

@@cordeliaadams4898 No señora, la Ciudad de México fue fundada en 1321, es la única ciudad que ha existido ininterrumpidamente sin ser abandonada. La Habana y Santo Domingo ni siquiera existían, son ciudades fundadas por españoles.

En efecto, es la capital más antigua de toda América.

Wow! Thank you! I'll make sure to check it out when I visit Guadalajara!

@@AndriiZhulidov hago un corrección fue el ingeniero Matute Remus aquí pongo el vídeo donde explica acontecimiento kzfaq.info/get/bejne/q9eGdsuczLu-co0.html

I RECOMENDED TO GUADALAJARA CITY HAS A SECOND CITY TO MEX , HISTORIC , ELEGANCE , FOOD , RECOMENDES HOSPICIO CABAÑAS THE CATEDRAL , ANDARESZONE ECT VERY NICE 💯👌💫🤩

Igual en el proceso de construcción de la Torre de reforma movieron completamente el edificio que estaba en medio del terreno, con tal de no demolerlo aparte que era un edificio muy viejo

Thank you!

Thank you! Yes, so many good architecture around the city! I need to do a long series of videos to cover it all! 😀

Hey Armando! I like Mexican architecture and want more people from around the world to enjoy it!

@@AndriiZhulidovif it is formidable you should go see the skyscraper that is called reform tower look it up on google for the exact address it is the first internationally awarded hanging skyscraper

@@armandobustindui1255 Do you mean Torre Reforma by LBR+A?

@@AndriiZhulidov 486 paseo de la reforma CDMX

@@armandobustindui1255 Thanks!

Thank you! I hope you enjoy architecture of Mexico City! I've heardd about this book, now I'll to read it for sure! Thank you for your recommendation!

Він Українець і мій друг

Thank you for your feedback! Yes, Mexico City has fantastic architecture!

I explained that in the video.

We know it, others don't necessarily so. If they don't know about our architecture, they simply have no idea how amazing it is. Relax... Thanks for your video, Andrii!

Yes, Colonial Architecture is much more famous in Mexico City than Modernist Architecture, that is why I focused on it. I mentioned the Anthropology Museum in the video and this one of the best museums in the world in my opinion.

Yes, due to elevation it is not that hot in the summer.

Thank you! I wanted to show more, but realized how hard it is to get around in Mexico City.

@@AndriiZhulidov It is and it's not; it is because of the distances and it's not because the city is mostly well communicated everywhere, trains, buses micro buses and others run constantly and worst case scenario... Uber! I live in Alberta Canada and the city transport is not the best for a "first world" city (so I don't believe in those labels anymore) if you finished your shift by midnight you're screwed if you don't have a car or live too far, commuting becomes 2 or 5 fold times car commuting But back to the video, it was great video and excellently done and yes still many places left out You're still in Mexico?

Thank you very much! Mexican Architecture indeed deserves to be appreciated!

Thanks! I plan to go there!

Thank you! Unfortunately, I had to go to states for work and was not able to attend the exhibition. When I'm back, I'll check it out again to see if it is still on.

@@AndriiZhulidovNice. I'm in Texas rn. That building reminded me a little of Geisel Library in Southern California, very space-age-ish and cool. I just googled "Mexico City" and "architecture" when I found your vid. I like the lens through which you viewed urban spaces! Thanks again for sharing.

Hi Rocio! Thank you very much! UNAM Library is also one of my favorite, I just like to look at the murals, every time I find something new!

Thank you very much for watching and leaving your comment! It inspires me to make more videos like this!

Thank you!

Torre Reforma? Pfft! Have the worst design.

@@J-ONE1989 I appreciate your comment. I tell you that in 2018 Torre Reforma, won the award for the Best Skyscraper in the World. Kind regards.

I think this should be the whole another video "Mexican Architecture today!" Thank you!

Yep! Many people mentioned these buildings! Thank you!

la Bacardi y la normal no están abiertas al público.

Thank you! Did you mean National School of Theater, because I didn't find Teacher's National School building.

@@AndriiZhulidov The name is Benemérita Escuela Nacional de Maestros, unfortunately its not open to the public.

Gracias por ver!

This museum looks awesome! Thank you! It is on my list now!

Museo El Eco , en los 80s era un Teatro Centro Cultural Isabelino , dónde había arte ( musica de todo tipo, exposiciones de todo tipo, Teatro , hasta cursos de verano para pequeños , grandes recuerdo que viví el foro.teatralnera de madera , aquí era EL ECO museo del diseño original Mathias Goeritz

There are a lot of things to be grateful for in Mexico City. Yeah, ahaha, Luis Barragan is a Mexican Architectural Superhero!

I hope too, I really like Los Manantiales. I studied that building long time ago doing Master degree in Architecture.

Thank you very much! I'm back to Mexico and I plan to do a second video. Will definitely visit Vasconcelos library and Chopo Museum.

@@AndriiZhulidov out of Vasconcelos library, on Saturdays there’s an underground street market where punks, gothic and rock culture gather ... you might be interested. Also in Sunday’s on reforma street close to Tlatelolco there’s a market with antiques and vintage stuff, some forniture also ... very urban thing but fun ... also some cool food ... the name is Mercado de la lagunilla, “ la Lagu”

This is true! 🇲🇽

Thank you for your comment! I like how you think about it! Also, I like a lot how you say about less corporate feeling.

Thank you!

Okay! Will do! I used to buy coffee on the corner near the museum every morning for a couple of weeks, but never thought about going to the museum!

Thank you very much!

Gracias!

You are very welcome! Thank you for watching!

Thank you very much for your nice comment! I've been to Cuernavaca and I like Jardin Borda. I feel like January and February are the months to be in CDMX.

Thank you for watching!

Thank you Jullien! Yes, I'm an architect and I'm really interested in modern architecture and art as well. I appreciate Art Deco and other styles, but I don't feel to be very connected and desire to explore them, so focus is on modern architecture. I'm not sure about the book, but I would love to do one more video about architecture in Mexico City. Hope, I'll find time for that!

Thank you very much!

Muchas gracias! Próximamente publicaré más videos sobre México!

Thank you for watching Nancy! I wish I would have time to do a second part to this video, as people in the comments suggested me so many other great spots in the city!

Thank you! I appreciate it a lot!

Thank you! I just checked and I briefly showed the stadium on 1:33. It is great idea to see the PUMAS game!

@@AndriiZhulidov OOOps I missed that part of the video!, but I it watched again :). And yess you will enjoy the game and I am sure you will get a lot of new viewers and follower of PUMAS team (including me), did you know our University UNAM is the University with more followers in twitter in the world?, Well deserved! Enjoy our beautiful CDMX!

Long Live the Master!

Thank you very much! I haven't seen those Plazas that you mentions and they look very cool on the pictures. I have to see them in real life!

Muchas gracias por tus grandes adiciones! La hermosa ciudad de Mexico tiene una arquitectura tan grandiosa que es imposible cubrirla toda de una sola vez.

CDMX has so many great buildings that it is impossible to include all of them! Thank you for mentioning another cool building!

Thanks!

I wish I can answer this question. 82% of the traffic of this video is "Browse features" and it started getting views only a month later after uploading.

@@AndriiZhulidov thank u, I was jw, I'm a creator as well. Good job

@@GRUBB-MUDD You are welcome! Awesome that you have your own field of expertise where you can grow! Great job!

@@AndriiZhulidov yeah I got some1 that is sabotaging my watch time. so I'm still gona do concrete but im actually gona start a different channel in a different niche. take care

Thank you for watching! I plan to see the library for sure!!!

Wow! Eduardo, thank you very much! I added everything you mentioned to my list and will do a research on the architects you mentioned! This is amazing! and you are right, no one mentioned what you mentioned!

Thank you! This is probably number one suggestion in comments! 😀

Thank you very much! El Chopo and Parque Bicentenario are new for me, added to my list!

Yes, Biblioteca Vasconcelos is on my list, so many people mentioned it! Thank you! Also, you missed the part where I mentioned "El nido de Quetzatcoatl", it is a private property and I was not able to book airbnb there. But Casa Organica by Senosiain is open for tours!

Yes, I've been to La Mexicana Park and around the Santa Fe! I liked it!

Lol! Good catch! This is because Luis Barragan is immortal, haha. Torre Virreyes is pretty cool building, I like it!

Will go there for sure!

Thank you for your kind words! This video is such a success that I have to make another one! 😀

Wow! Lucky you! Haha! I want to visit it one day as well!

Thank you very much! Happy you liked it!

Thank you!

Do you mean big yellow horse on blue base? This is Torre Caballito and I love this huge sculpture. ✊🏻🇺🇦

Actually if you ask most mexicans stand with Russia

@@alexangel1787 This war is really far away from Mexico, and I'm pretty sure those Mexicans don't know and don't understand the history of Ukraine and Russia. This is not a football game, where you choose a team to cheer for. This is real war, with a lot of deaths, cruelty and destruction. I don't care with whom those uneducated Mexicans stand with, because it doesn't even matter. People who stand with Ukraine: send humanitarian help, donate, take part in protests and really act to help. I'm pretty sure the Mexicans who "stand with Russia", didn't even send 1 peso to Russia to support them, that is why their support of Russia doesn't matter.

Hi! I'm not sure what exactly you refer to as a "Mexican Style". If you are talking about Spanish style house, they were influenced by European architecture, just look at old historical villages in Spain. If we are talking about architecture developed in Mexico, kind of Hacienda ranches, yes you can see them in states, because they are very suitable for the deserty hot region. Mexican modernism was inspired by European and US modernism, but still distinctive due to local influences as well. If we are talking about art, I don't know much about it, but I can see that a lot of "Mexican Art" is actually art of indigenous people, like Zapotec culture and it was there before Mexico became even Mexico. It is very hard to judge for me in art world what is what, as every one gets inspiration whenever they want. Hope it all makes sense.

@@AndriiZhulidov ..Spain's *weather* is complete different from Mexico's geography that's because the ubication in world....well the housing in the states near the border are 100% more related from "Mexican Architecture". Even do some designs came from Spain those were just used in make colonial palaces (Mexico the city of the Palaces©) OR GUANAJUATO OR ZACATECAS OR TAXCO, ETC

Happy you liked it! Thank you for watching!

Hey Antonio! Wow, you suggested a lot of cool buildings to visit! I appreciate it a lot! Thank you very much!

I just googled it and it looks amazing! Thanks for recommendations.

The hottest in Mexico City is in April!

Tamayo has amazing flow of interior space! I like it a lot!

Hola! Gracias por ver. Sí, realmente disfruto de la arquitectura mexicana y traté de mostrar cuán impresionante es la arquitectura moderna y presentar arquitectos mexicanos famosos.

@@AndriiZhulidov gracias soy arquitecto y vivo cerca de esas zonas del sur de la cdmx

Thank you! Added to my list of "Architecture to see".

Muchas gracias Francisco!

Thank you!

Please visit, it is nice place!

Thank you for watching!

Thank you very much!

Yes, I agree, but I never claimed the buildings are copied, I was talking about influence of architectural styles.

Leonina many modern skyscrapers in Mexico City have been built to withstand earthquakes since the 1990s. One the Torre Latino Americana, was not built with earthquake technology but it has withstood several major 7.0-8.5 magnitude earthquakes since it opened in the 1950s. Weather is not much different from Southern Europe. It's actually snowed in Mexico City many times in the past. It snows more up north and in the mountain ranges of Mexico. Most of Mexico is at high altitude so its weather can be cold in winter and cool in the summer depending on where in Mexico you are. A lot of Mexico's colonial architecture when it was the viceroyalty of New Spain though is very similar to anything you can find in Italy, Spain, etc. since Mexico was ruled over by Spain for 300 years from 1521-1821. A lot of especially religious architecture since Mexico City was a very important Catholic center akin to Madrid and Rome. You have many convents and monasteries of all Catholic orders throughout New Spain (Mexico), chapels, churches, and of course many huge cathedrals on a par with European cathedrals (Mexico City, Guadalajara, Puebla, Morelia, Zacatecas, Oaxaca, Guanajuato, Monterrey, etc.). Some architects of Spanish cathedrals in fact were the same architects who designed Mexican cathedrals. Also many non-religious buildings from houses and government buildings, universities, theaters, to everything else including palaces/castle. On the last part--the King of Spain planned to move his court to Mexico City when Napoleon invaded Spain (similar to how the Portuguese royal family moved their court to Brazil). He was stopped though by his son en route. Decades later another royal--Maximilian of Habsburg did actually rule in Mexico and lived at Chapultepec castle. And at the end of the 19th century there was a big French influenced design and building movement in Mexico. The 20th century however saw much new modernist movements and architecture and of course brutalism. Mexican architecture today has a lot of history to stand on and one skyscraper in particular won a design award in for innovation in 2018 in Germany--Torre Reforma.

This is interesting. How many of them should've moved to the city with population of more than 22 million people that it gets noticeable?

@@AndriiZhulidov it depends on the neighborhood. They go to specific places, like Condesa, Roma, Coyoacan. Before they moved to Cabo and San Miguel de Allende

Esto es muy cierto!

this is true! it has a silhouette that kind of looks like Empire State Building!

Answer is in the video! 😀

Que pena que no puedas apreciar una crítica constructiva y más cuando sus puntos son muy válidos

Hola J P. Lamento que pienses de esta manera sobre el video, pero gracias por verlo. Solo traté de compartir mi opinión honesta.

No te ofendas tan facilmente. Como dijo el otro comentarista aqui--fue critica constructiva y no parece que fue con malas intenciones. Tiene razon en decir que unos edificios estan muy descuidados y deberian ser mejor apreciados y dados mantenimiento. Hay que verlo como una oportunidad en la que puede relucir mas la ciudad. Antes di que este muchacho se intereso en mostrar arquitectura moderna de Mexico que no se ve mucho en canales de KZfaq en ingles. A las otras quejas tenia que ver con los cierres por el Covid y los precios. Como Mexicanos a veces piensan que todos los turistas son de EEUU, Canada, o un pais desarrollado de Europa, pero hay muchos turistas de paises del este de Europa y Latino America que para ellos es tan imposible pagar precios altos como para un Mexicano. Y entre mas jovenes menos dinero tienen. Yo aprecio que se intereso en mostrar historia de arquitectura moderna de Mexico porque como dije, esto no se ve frecuentemente en canales en ingles.
