Conservatorio

During a global pause, artist Kristie Arias and Sergio Guzmán, director of the architecture firm Méctamo, discovered unexpected neighbors—the birds in nearby trees. What began as friendly observation turned into a fun exploration of their habits. The terrace transformed into a bridge connecting nature with the city. They added local plants, creating a cozy spot for thrushes, chiscos, buttercups, and hummingbirds. Kristie Arias and Sergio Guzmán crafted feeders, ensuring these feathered friends were always close. Conservatorio was born—an exciting project inviting everyone to observe and rediscover our connection with the planet.

“Dancing in a circle, jumping rhythmically, no one is the first or the last. Everyone jumps at the same time, at an increasingly faster pace. A sense of infinity is born from this human ring that turns and jumps, turns and jumps, turns and jumps. In the origins of writing, we find the circle in almost all alphabets or ideograms; these signs are also common in the strokes of preschool children, in illiterate adults, and the drawings of prehistoric human beings.
