In the second of a series of short movies about Frida Escobedo, the Mexican architect describes the architecture scene in her home country.
Speaking exclusively to Dezeen in London, Escobedo said that contemporary Mexican architecture is united more by the way in which it responds to challenges than by  a common aesthetic.
"Mexican architecture is informed by its context," she said. "You make what you see and become creative with what you know and what you are nurtured with."

"It's not something that you can define in terms of a shape or a colour, but more about the strategies that we follow to create opportunities out of crises," she continued. "And so, I think it's more like a spirit rather than a style." Escobedo described a layered and dynamic Mexican architecture scene made up of distinct generations.

There is the generation of Tatiana Bilbao, Michel Rojkind, Derek Dellekamp and Francisco Padro, she said, followed by that of Isaac Broid and Miquel Adrià.
Her own generation features Mexico City firm Productora, which collaborated with Broid to design the Oscar Neimeyer Award-winning Teopanzolco Cultural Center.
