Alejandro Cartagena
Cartagena captures both the destruction that rapid urbanization has imposed on the landscape and the phenomenon of densely packed housing, with perpetual rows of tiny houses slicing directly into the foothills of the picturesque mountains that surround Monterrey. The homes are small, generally under 100 square meters (or less than 328 square feet), and usually occupied by four to six people. Only the landscape appears capable of limiting their proliferation, the mountains and rivers the only forces able to contain their sprawl.
