This product is excluded from all promotions.A cacophony of sights, sounds and tastes, Mexico City is an immersive experience for every sense. It's all captured in Assouline's 'Mexico City', a colorful account of the ongoing tale of a metropolis paved with rich legends and mythologies, and no shortage of inspiration, with its vibrant avenues and side streets, markets and museums. Authored by Aleph Molinari, the volume explores the city's origins, going back to the fourteenth century, its surrounding volcanoes and ubiquitous gardens.
An indigenous pre-Hispanic past mingles with examples of colonial architecture across pages that also shine a light on the use of local materials in the creation of a Spanish-baroque aesthetic, which come together to create a unique style. It's all presented alongside cultural landmarks like Diego Rivera's Anahuacalli Museum and architect Juan O'Gorman's Cave House, as well as cinematic backdrops that have drawn Mexico's top filmmakers, like Alejandro Gonzàlez Iñárritu, Alfonso Cuaròn and Michel Franco, for a compelling story of Mexico City's past and present.
