Pedro Reyes on making cities better
What Will Creativity Hold for the Future?/Recorded 2011
A close reading, kept within reach.
Pedro Reyes takes architecture & interiors as a lens on the larger question the festival keeps returning to: what design owes to the people and places it works among. The talk moves from specific projects toward a broader argument about practice.
Recorded in Mexico in 2011, the conversation is grounded in Pedro's own working method — the compromises, the constraints, and the moments where the work taught them something they didn't expect.
The closing turn is characteristic of the archive: less a conclusion than a provocation, handed to the audience to carry into their own disciplines.
Pedro Reyes tells of his “Palas por Pistolas” project that saw weapons being voluntarily turned in and transformed into garden shovels.
