Vladimir Kaspé: Architecture as a whole

As part of the Derivas de Arte y Arquitectura program, Arte Abierto presents Vladimir Kaspé: Architecture as a Whole, a conversation with Rocío Martínez Barrera.

In this talk, we will delve into the most intimate aspects of the life and work of architect Vladimir Kaspé, allowing us to understand not only his architectural production, but also the restless and profound spirit of the man who shaped some of the most emblematic works of the Modern Movement in Mexico. A lover of beauty in all its manifestations—architecture, music, literature, photography, drawing—Kaspé was a constant traveler and enthusiastic participant in the cultural life of the country. His rich and fertile expressive capacity was nourished by a life marked by sensitivity, intellectual curiosity, and a constant search for meaning. From this vision arose his theoretical proposal of “Architecture as a whole,” an idea that distinguishes him and remains relevant for reflecting on the role of architecture in culture and everyday life.
