Daily Productive Sharing 1255 - Mexico City
One helpful tip per day:)
Arun Venkatesan believes that, outside of Tokyo, his favorite city in the world is Mexico City.
- He and his wife love it because of how seamlessly it fuses a rich mix of cultural influences into a single place.
- Everywhere you look, you’ll find murals by Diego Rivera, José Clemente Orozco, and David Alfaro Siqueiros; metro stations each have distinct themes honoring historical figures; and art is embedded into everyday public spaces—hospitals, schools, and more.
- The Casa Luis Barragán avoids all the usual design clichés. It’s innovative in its use of form and color, while still honoring tradition through natural materials.
- In Mexico City, museums are interwoven into public life—often free or discounted—and reflect the country’s core belief in cultural equality. It’s not just practical; it’s philosophical.
- Now he understands why he always feels so welcomed there. Mexico City is a place that openly shares its culture, even its bloodstained past. It proves that in a city of millions, it’s still possible to form a deep connection with a place—without getting lost in the crowd.

Arun Venkatesan 认为除了东京之外，在所有城市中，他们最喜欢的是墨西哥城。
- 他和妻子喜欢墨西哥城，是因为这里将多元文化元素融合在同一个地方。
- 放眼城市的任何角落，都能看到迭戈·里维拉（Diego Rivera）、何塞·克莱门特·奥罗斯科（José Clemente Orozco）、大卫·阿尔法罗·西凯罗斯（David Alfaro Siqueiros）等人的壁画；地铁站各有不同主题，纪念历史人物；而艺术也嵌入医院、学校等日常公共空间中。
- 路易斯·巴拉干之家（Casa Luis Barragán）避开了所有常见的陷阱。它在造型和色彩上的运用极具创新性，同时又通过天然材料的使用延续了传统。
- 在墨西哥城，博物馆融入公共空间，并通过免费或优惠入场，将自己深深嵌入文化肌理。这不仅是实用性考量，更体现了墨西哥人“文化平等”的核心价值观。
- 他现在明白，为什么自己总在墨西哥城感到受欢迎。这里是一个愿意公开分享文化的地方，包括它血腥的过去。它证明，在大城市中，人与地方之间依然能建立深刻联系，而不必在数百万人中迷失自我。
