Landscape and architecture, always embedded within Indigenous worlds, stood at the center of Mariana Yampolsky’s photographic practice. Her seminal book La casa que canta: arquitectura popular mexicana, first published in 1982 and reissued in 2024, continues to serve as a key reference for understanding Mexico’s vernacular architecture from both ethnographic and architectural perspectives.
The CAAD Forum series is hosted by the Center for American Architecture and Design to bring faculty, students, and staff together for informal and inquisitive discussions about ideas relating to architecture and its history, theory, practice, and future. Presentations introduce and off insight into new and ongoing research, and are followed by time for Q&A. Lunch provided; first-come first-served.
