On this Cinco de Mayo, (which commemorates a Mexican victory over French forces in the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862—not Mexican Independence Day, which is September 16) Curbed is taking a look at some standout architecture across the country.
You may know the work of Luis Barragán and Félix Candela (and if you don't, check out our primer on Mexico City's glorious modern architecture), but do you know Tatiana Bilbao? How about Michel Rojkind? If not, you should: Their work represents some of the most interesting contemporary design coming out of a country with a vibrant architecture scene. Below, check out samples of the work of seven Mexican firms that should be on your radar.
