Based on research into the water problem in Mexico City, with a special 
focus on the piping processes of rivers and bodies of water, I developed 
a proposal to rethink the city's relationship with its water environment. 
Inspired by traditional chinampa systems, I proposed an alternative that 
recovers ancestral practices of coexistence with water, adapting them to 
the contemporary urban context. The proposal narrates a journey from the 
south to the west of the city, showing the challenges, lessons learned, 
and dynamics of inhabiting an aquatic territory, as well as the possi-
bilities for ecological and social resilience.
