ArchitectureWeek Description Mexico's rich culture, full of symbol and myth, beautiful cities, and evocative ruins, is an excellent place to study how metaphysical conceptions influence the ways human societies create their built environment. The authors, "metaphysical archaeologists," consider ideas that give the constructed spaces and buildings of Mexico especially, of Querétaro, their particular ambience. They show how the transformation of world view affects the urban evolution of a Mexican City.
