Project Global: Water

09


Mexico City of the future, where all promises and plans are failed and overtaken by population growth, obsoletion of existing water infrastructure, dramatic climate change and natural disasters.

11 Maps

If the end of the world marks a new beginning, the 11 maps interrelate the rise and fall of the Aztecs civilization to the soil, the wells and the contemporary metropolis, going beyond Mexico City. The work, starting from the primordial landscape of the Valley of Mexico, addresses the history, explores the current situation, and reflects on the possible futures of Mexico City and the surrounding area. 

Apocalypse: the future is now.
