About this audio guide
This guide to Mercado Roma in Mexico City follows architect Michel Rojkind, who spent over a decade touring as the drummer for Aleks Syntek y La Gente Normal before returning to architecture school in his thirties. You'll hear how he designed the three-story market like a song, with vendor stalls as verses, the open terrace as the chorus, and a staircase working like a bridge toward the rooftop biergarten. It traces the market back to the Sacal family's 2014 opening, reimagining a traditional Mexican mercado for more than fifty vendors.
