When I was in college, I went on a Design-Build studio in Mexico. We designed and built a clinic for the treatment of handicapped people in Xochimilco. There was a really cool abandoned building we used to see when we were wandering around on our breaks.
Imagine my surprise when I recognized it, more than a decade later, on someone’s blog.
