Short description

Arnulfo Aldaco was invited to Planta Libre, one of Mexico’s leading architecture podcasts, to discuss the spatial, cultural, and social role of libraries and independent bookstores. The conversation explored bookspaces as places of community, memory, and cultural exchange, as well as the relationship between architecture, reading, and everyday urban life.

Key idea

Libraries and bookstores are not only containers of books, but active cultural spaces that shape how communities read, meet, and think.
