AV Monographs 274: Colectivo C733

The Mexican collective C733 uses constructive clarity to create community. The “C” in their name stands for Cosmos, while the following digits stand as counterparts for Logical, Efficient, and Economical, as any public architecture should strive to be. The collective’s way of working leads to the dissolution of authorship, whereby architecture is turned into a profession of service, subordinated to the rational use of resources and the well-being of the community. This issue of ‘AV Monographs’ features sixteen exemplary and highly varied projects completed by C733 in Mexico, revealing both their communion with nature and organic bond with the community context.
