Beijing, China

Here are some sample pics from a recent trip I made to China. I stayed there for a little bit over a week. Beijing is a amazing city full of skyscrapers, wide avenues, modern highways, brand new shopping centers and magnificent palaces. It's hard to believe that all the development of the city started just 30 years ago. These pictures show the old and more tranquil side of Beijing.

Casa Becerril

Tomorrow, August 26th is the official presentation of the book "Lo Mejor del Siglo XXI - Arquitecturas Mexicanas 2007-2008" by Arquine, an International Architecture and Design Magazine published in Mexico. Local architect Jorge Gracia is one of the honored architects to be published in this book with his Casa Becerril project. And I'm the lucky guy who had the opportunity to photographed this beautiful house for the book.
