Vistahermosa Glen housing complex, Cidade do Mexico

Abstract

Situated on the slopes of the magnificent gorge Cuajimalpa in the city of Mexico, rises housing the “Cañada Vistahermosa” that surpasses the expectations of the area where it is located, merging with nature and playing in their facades with different volumes and terraces . This attitude of design creates an interesting play of light and shadow that resembles the definition of the architecture of Le Corbusier, who claimed it was “wise, glorious and magnificent play of volumes under the sun” (Vers une architecture, 1923), which increase the symbolic power of the set and emphasizes its relationship with its surroundings.
