Along the closing conference of the 3rd International Congress of Architecture of Mexico (Guadalajara, October 2016), the book comprises, along with 127 projects of constructed work, 70 projects never built or published before (studies that were not carried out or lost in international competitions) designed by architect Octavio Mestre (Barcelona 1971). "In October 2016, I was invited to close with my conference, the III Festival Internacional de Arquitectura de México that took place in the Teatro Diana in Guadalajara and so this book reproduces some of the reflections that I shared with a thousand students from all over the country and hence its title. This book is born of the love for a land to which I have come in numerous occasions, given classes in several of its universities and travel from end to end." (HKB Translation) --Page 13.
