Sumario:Forced exile due to political persecution and the civic-military dictatorship gave rise to the arrival of many Argentine architects in Mexico from 1974 onwards. Many of them came from Argentine schools where discussion processes and testing of new ways of teaching architecture had taken place linking it to social reality and militant practice issues such as Taller Total of Córdoba, the Workshops of La Plata and the National and Popular Workshops of Buenos Aires. Once in Mexico, many architects worked in various universities where renewal processes had also taken place, for example, the Self-Government Architecture of the National Autonomous University of Mexico, the discussions in Puebla and the creation of the Metropolitan Autonomous University Azcapotzalco and Xochimilco. Based on interviews with several exiled architects, the article seeks to characterize and measure the circulation of professionals as well as to identify the dialogues dealing with their significant experiences, which, in turn, enables to know the impact of exile trajectories on continuities and transformations in the Latin American teaching of architecture.
