The images that this catalog gathers was to form part of an exhibition that began to be planned at the end of 2019. The initial idea was that a group of architects under 35 years of age and who work in and from Mexico City, would present their ideas on architecture and the city in the face of the climate crisis we are facing, accompanied by 20 images, each lasting 20 seconds. Together, the 20 images would form a mosaic of rectangular format that, printed in large size, would be exhibited along with the others in an exhibition to be inaugurated during the Mextr âopoli festival, in March 2020. But the pandemic that stopped the exhibition appeared, the festival and to the whole world. Much has been said that the pandemic caused by SARS-CoV-2 is not an event unrelated to the climate crisis: the disappearance of natural environments due to the unrestrained exploitation of resources or urban growth have meant that the risk of infectious vectors from animal to human populations is increasing. Reflections on the landscape is the result of a close collaboration between Chilean landscape architect Teresa Moller (born 1959) and Jimena Martignoni. This book is intended to be a kind of "legacy" based on the experiences and learning of Teresa Moller working in and with the landscape architecture. It also explores and organizes themes such as Earth, Water, Trees, Fruits, Stone as its fundamental components and raw material and Paths, Signals, Essence and Silence as possibilities and attributes that create a sublime landscape and connects them with the projects of Teresa most significant of the last five to ten years. Finally, it concludes with a brief reflection on human nature: an invitation to understand ourselves as part of an infinite universe in a way as vital as, for example, earth and water. A right and an obligation that both believe that we all have to assume, today, to become aware and "be Nature".
