The festival that invites us to see the city with new eyes is back. Open House CDMX 2026 will celebrate its sixth edition from March 17 to 22 under the theme “Adaptations for the Future, “ with a week of activities and a weekend in which more than 50 architectural spaces will open their doors for free.
On March 21 and 22, you can visit iconic venues that are not normally open to the public, while from March 17 to 20, there will be workshops, talks, and specialized tours with architects and city experts.
A member of Open House Worldwide, the festival is part of a network present in cities such as London, New York, and Barcelona. In Mexico City, the project is led by Mariela Martínez and seeks to bring architecture to everyone free of charge.
Buildings you can visit at Open House CDMX 2026
Among the spaces confirmed for March 21 and 22 are the Alfredo Harp Helú Stadium, the CIREC recycling plant, and Anfibium, the axolotl museum focused on wetland conservation.
In addition, you can visit the house where Leonora Carrington lived, located in the San Rafael neighborhood. This historic building—known as CASO—was built in 1906 and has had multiple uses over time: embassy, school, neighborhood, and artists’ refuge.
Its walls were home not only to the iconic surrealist artist, but also to figures such as Renato Leduc. The visit will provide an up-close look at a space steeped in cultural memory and architectural transformations that dialogue with the spirit of this edition.
Other venues include the BBVA Tower, the Diego Rivera Anahuacalli Museum, and Luis Barragán’s Casa Ortega, among others.
The selection addresses urgent issues: resilience to climate change, housing and equity, integration of nature into the city, mobility, sports infrastructure, and the use of new materials.
A week to imagine the city of the future
Under the theme “Adaptations for the Future,” this edition proposes to reflect on how architecture can respond to social, climatic, and urban changes.
There will be earth-building workshops, talks on sustainability, visits to manufacturing laboratories, and guided tours of iconic buildings.
This year, the experience will also be more interactive thanks to Bloomberg Connects, a free app that will serve as a digital guide to the festival.
If you are passionate about the city, architecture, or simply want to see spaces that are almost never open, you already have plans for March.
