Internationally renowned architect Armando Ramos of Diverse Projects shares his story: from growing up in the violence of Mexico City to his fascination with architecture at age eleven; how Frank Lloyd Wright inspired him, all the way through to his dream-come-true collaboration with Frank Gehry.
We discuss how to deal with the scourge of corruption. How the value of beauty and majesty in architecture appears to have been lost. Thoughts on how to use creativity to cure homelessness and his revolutionary new concept - Architectural Propaganda – that seeks to blend politics with architecture to not only make election promises more meaningful but also drive infrastructural, civic, cultural and social change.
