SEMIOTIC ANALYSIS OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN ARCHITECTURAL FORMS AND THE URBAN PHENOMENA OF SEGREGATION AND GENTRIFICATIO! IN MEXICO CITY Urban phenomenon: gentrification and urban segregation here are two interrelated urban phenomena upon which the research will fc sus. Gentrification is the “process through which a neighborhood inhabited b' Ow-income population is modified and occupied by middle- and upper-class population, who in turn -either on their own or through private investment wit eal estate agents - undertaken housing renovations’ (Salinas, 2018, p. 281-304 \ccording to Salinas (2016), it is the “restructuring of class and social relations nN space, from capital investment for the satisfaction and attraction of highe ncome population, leading to population displacement” (Salinas, 2016, p. 35; 365).

SEMIOTIC ANALYSIS OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN ARCHITECTURAL FORMS AND THE URBAN PHENOMENA OF SEGREGATION AND GENTRIFICATIO IN MEXICO CITY The urban and architectural characteristics are different inside the “Progre- so” condominium. A two-meter-high volcanic stone wall delimits the horizon- tal complex, featuring a wooden gate with metal accents as Its entry point. The condominium has a cistern that supplies all the houses and a guard house with security guards. The roads are paved with volcanic stone details, side- walks, and three parking spaces. The green areas and vegetation are well maintained and uniformly placed at the front and sides of each of the nine houses that comprise the condominium. The houses are 250 m2, with three parking spaces; they have the same architectural style with white walls, red tile roofs with double height, large windows with semicircular arches, a gar- den in the front, and a corridor before accessing the house's front door. The installations are concealed, so the water tanks and wiring are not visible to
