Guerrilla architecture

Guerrilla architecture updates Mexico City | csmonitor.com
The Center for Architecture (NY) has an exhibit up about young architects in Mexico City. Quote from Tschumi:

"In New York, to be a young architect is to be 50 years old," Mr. Tschumi explains. "In Mexico City, I was seeing a lot of work done literally by people in their mid-20s, barely out of school."

The reason for such opportunities, Tschumi speculates, is that Mexico isn't bound up by inflexible rules and regulations. He compares this Wild West spirit to the situation in California 20 years ago."

Ever feel like you're in the wrong country?
