A Brutalist monument in Mexico City, architect Agustín Hernández Navarro tours his home-studio Praxis House for one of his last interviews.
This film captures Agustín Hernández Navarro in his home environment, amassing some of the last-known footage of the architect before his passing at 98. Within the walls of the iconic Praxis House, he discusses the trinity that forms architecture – structure, form, and function – and its relation to his life and practice.
Guiding the eye through the physical space, Hernández Navarro unlocks the essence of his being through carefully curated objects and books, sharing insight into his inner world and the sources that stimulated him privately and professionally. Dedicated to his memory, the film situates a design innovator against the otherworldly geometry for which he became known, offering an intimate portrait of a monumental space intended to be lived through its influences.
