In 2017, as part of the Mextr--poli Festival, Pritzker Prize-winning architect Peter Zumthor was invited to Mexico City to participate in a series of public discussions about architecture and the city.

A House Is Not Just a House argues precisely that. The book traces Tatiana Bilbaös diverse work on housing ranging from large-scale social projects to single-family luxury homes. These projects offer a way of thinking about the limits of housing: where it begins and where it ends. Regardless of type, her work advances an argument on housing that is simultaneously expansive and minimal, inseparable from the broader environment outside of it and predicated on the fundamental requirements of living. Working within the turbulent history of social housing in Mexico, Bilbao argues for participating even when circumstances are less than ideal¿and from this participation she is able to propose specific strategies learned in Mexico for producing housing elsewhere.A House Is Not Just a House includes a recent lecture by Bilbao at Columbia University's Graduate School of Architecture, Planning, and Preservation, as well as reflections from fellow practitioners and scholars, including Amale Andraos, Gabriela Etchegaray, Hilary Sample, and Ivonne Santoyo-Orozco.
