Meet Una Vida Moderna: Mid-Centurist Blogger sharing pictures of Mexico's architecture

Few bloggers tend to take the time to explore forgotten photos of Mexico's life and architecture; Richard has shared countless photos of Mexico's mid century architecture...

What Motivated you to share pictures of Mexico's architecture?

My best friend lives in Mexico City. There was a period of time when she lived in New York City and the two of us had an art gallery in the East Village.  We also worked together for a high end retail company for a period of time before she moved back to Mexico. We had a discussion back in the year 2000 about exploring the possibility of reproducing Mexican Mid Century Modern designs.  At that time in the USA it was easy to find furnishings from the period but in Mexico it had not been something trending and therefore the only place you might have found the original pieces was in the flea markets, like Lagunilla. So I began making trips to Mexico City on a regular basis so we could explore the markets and try to find other learning resources. I came to find that libraries in the USA were better for doing research, especially when it came to the Mid Century period, the period of time just after the Second World War and up to about the time of the 1968 Summer olympics in Mexico. It was in the flea markets we would run into others with similar interests but who had not uncovered the print resources from the period.  I would find myself saying "there is an image of X...."  frequently in discussions with others and felt it was a shame that what I was finding wasn't available online.  So that it when I started to make scans of images and posting them on Tumblr.

What period of Mexican architecture draws you the most & why?

It is what is frequently called in the english language the "Mid Century Modern" period that I am most interested in and have made the focus of my blog.  The main era of this was between 1948 and 1968, though there are exceptions.   There are many reasons this period is of such interest to me.  Specifically it was a period where Mexico, like most other countries around the world, embraced and added the International Style of architecture into the design vocabulary .  That comes off as a very simplistic sounding statement but in the changing post war landscape around the world, there was this period of time when there was a sharing of an architectural vocabulary like no previous period.  For good or bad that is what happened.  Mexico took this aesthetic and imbued it with it's own architectural history (ancient on forward) and created something unique yet universally identifiable within International Modernism.  Mexican architect and designers studied and challenged the tenants of the style and made things work in regard to culture and location.  The period is also when Mexico offered a respite from the "Cold War" mentality that was prevalent in the USA and Europe.  There was a flourishing international art & design community within Mexico who are integral to the period.  In general is was a very open period of time of good will. How do you find most of the pictures and do you have people who help you out?

For a very long time the images that I scan were primarily coming from books and periodicals that I collected. I would go to used book stores here in the USA to find the books that were printed in the United States during the period.  I would explore online auctions sites like eBay to find copies of books and periodicals from Mexico and purchase them.  And I have used book sellers in Mexico to find yet more copies of periodicals and books.  Since starting the blog UNAM has done the world a great favor by scanning and indexing the major architectural journals of Mexico from the 20th Century. Many young scholars are now studying the period and publishing their findings online.  I must say that there is a strong community within Tumblr of like minded individuals that have helped and encouraged me.

When did you start blogging and aside from tumblr where can we find more of your blog work? I began blogging images on

Tumblr

in the middle of 2012.  I also post images on Pinterest on a main board called Mexico Mid Century ModernismI have a page on Facebook called

Una Vida Moderna

where I post pertinent articles and pieces created in Mexico during the period available thru places like

GLOBALIZACIÓN EN MÉXICO

Las redes globales han sido de gran ayuda para dar a conocer  las tradiciones y culturas mexicanas a niveles internacionales.

La comida, ahora patrimonio de la humanidad, se dio a conocer gracias a diferentes mexicanos que han llevado las tradiciones culinarias a diferentes partes del mundo. Un ejemplo de ello es Abigail Mendoza, la famosa cocinera zapoteca que ha representado la cocina mexicana colorida, sencilla y para algunos la más brava; pero con sabores exclusivos

Abigail ha  viajado por Europa, Estados Unidos y Asia representando a México con sus vestimentas llenas de color y trenzas en su cabello. Esto comenzó en el año de 1991 gracias a la revista española”GOURMET”; personas que trabajaban para dicha revista llegaron a comer al restaurante familiar de Abi, después de un año en la revista salió un artículo el cual hablaba sobre los diferentes tipos de comida que Abigail prepara con tanto amor.

En el año de 1993 el periódico The Times New York publicó que Tamanalli  (restaurante ya antes mencionado) era uno de los mejores 10 en todo el mundo. Gracias a las redes globales esto se puede difundir a cualquier parte del mundo y que la información llegue a más personas.

Uno de los lugares más recomendados para comer en el estado de Oaxaca  es Tamanalli; un pequeño restaurante donde Abigail y hermanas  podrán atenderle de una manera muy atenta, ofreciéndole los 7 moles  que existen en el estado. Para que usted disfrute mejor sus alimentos se preparan al momento que usted los ordena. ¡VISTA OAXACA!

Típico

Hay una alerta de tsunami, tus tías preguntándoles a todos si están bien en Facebook, el mundo mandando #prayers y cuando buscas información en Google, te salen puros memes.

Porque somos así? 😂😂
