DEL CUETO RUIZ-FUNES, Juan Ignacio. Risky intervention, a way to revitalize built heritage: Interview with Felipe Leal. Intervención (Méx. DF) [online]. 2012, vol.3, n.5, pp.14-22. ISSN 2007-249X.
In this article, Felipe Leal talks to Juan Ignacio del Cueto about the architectural interventions that the former has made on different scales to built heritage in Mexico City throughout his career as a freelance professional and as a public servant. According to Leal, a constant in his work has been to develop so-called risky interventions: projects that seek to revitalize past heritage by giving it a modern and attractive use so that it might be enjoyed by today's generations. Some of the emblematic examples mentioned in this interview are the adaptations made to UNAM's Architecture faculty buildings (1997-2005), the construction of the MUAC at the Centro Cultural Universitario, to pedestrianize Madero Street in Mexico City's historic downtown district and the renovation of the Plaza de la República and the Monumento a la Revolución.
