The non-urban framework of provincial Mexican cities delineates a history of collective living, aesthetic modernity and socio-cultural identity. Rural dwelling facades across Mexico host and expose a definite Latin American aesthetic which embodies a fragmentary character of complexity and narrates the dialogue between modernism, materiality, social strata, and the diverse historical exchange present in both the urban strata and the rural peripheries of Latin America.
    The rationale of precarity and self-construction remains to be defined and addressed. The Taxonomy of Unscripted Living archives and catalogs the colloquial typologies of rural Mexico. The purpose of the archive is to assess, interpret and document the aesthetics of autonomous construction and identify architectural elements as markers of cultural specificity within the dialectics of self-construction. The probe observes how the non-urban framework of provincial cities delineate the aesthetics of an architecture without architects.
