The session connects material innovation with cultural meaning, looking at how construction methods, craft, and contemporary production reshape what we recognize as “Mexican” design today.We will also discuss the role of design education in this transformation: how we can prepare the next generation of architects and designers to translate local heritage into an increasingly globalized, digitally advanced market without losing authenticity, context, or critical thinking.SpeakersAna Elena Mallet is a curator specializing in modern and contemporary design and a Distinguished Professor at Tecnológico de Monterrey.
