Mariana Ordóñez Grajales, founder of the Mexico City–based architecture collective Comunal, together with photographer Onnis Luque and the human rights organization Indignación A.C., present a collaborative reflection that links architectural research with social justice. Their project, TYPOLOGIES. Current State of Traditional Housing in Mexico, documents and analyzes the richness and diversity of vernacular housing models across the country, while also exposing the threats these building traditions face from homogenizing policies and industrialized construction systems. By situating this research within the broader struggle for the human right to habitat and self-determination, the collaboration underscores how communities can assert agency over their built environments. Through this work, Comunal, Luque, and Indignación A.C. advocate for the protection of cultural heritage and the promotion of housing practices rooted in collective identity, resilience, and sustainability.
