The Museo Nacional de Antropología, Chapultepec Park, Mexico City.
Designed in 1963 by Pedro Ramírez Vázquez, Jorge Campuzano and Rafael Mijares, it is an impressive example of modern architecture.
The main courtyard is partially covered by a roof (know as “el paraguas”) suspended by a single pillar around which splashes an artificial cascade. The halls are ringed by gardens, many of which contain outdoor sculptures.
there is much more to this house in its interior but for now I only include its “chaflán”.
Parc Natural de la Zona Volcànica de la Garrotxa
El volcán del Croscat
After years of extraction of volcanic gravel and the subsequent use of the site as a landfill, in the early 1990s this area was turned into a Natural Reserve. The landscape intervention at el volcán del Croscat (which is only a fragment of a whole lot of interventions throughout the territory) aimed at restoring the extraction site and landfill to recover the morphology of the volcano and the surrounding landscape. This award winning project minimized the visual industrial impact, prevented further erosion of the volcano, and allowed for public access through a series of trails that connect the natural park.
The quarried flank or las grederes has exposed the internal structure of the volcano -as a cross section- allowing for the scientific as well as leisure observation of the internal volcanic structure of the Croscat.

I like to paste city maps in my sketchbook where I can trace down the different paths, landmarks and buildings I visit. Here’s one I did a few years ago in madrid. Dashed lines refer to walked paths and dotted ones are subway, bus or taxi.
