CITY ECHOES
In the fall of 2016 Joan Serra Montagut offered a course of collective writing at the Faculty of Architecture in Universidad Autónoma de Yucatán‐UADY. During those months, the students visited various points in the city of Mérida, scenarios that served to set the space for collective writing processes in situ. We captured experiences and stories from the Faculty of Architecture in La Mejorada Park, in Parque de Santiago, in Plaza Grande, in Paseo de Montejo, in Paseo de las Ánimas in Ermita during Janal Pixán (the Day of the Death in México how is celebrated in Yucatán), in the bus station located in the historical center, in Parque de las Américas, in an evening cultural route between Tapanco and Apapacho, in the Yucatán Central Library in the neighbourhood of Santa Lucía and in the Yucatán Center for Fine Arts. We wrote in all these spaces mixing the narratives and the people that we met. At the end of each session we read the stories in a circle. The objective of the experience was to connect the future architects of Mérida with the multiple voices of the city that they will have to manage and the city that they should know how to listen to in their professional development.
