Back in 2009 we published this very interesting Museum by architects LAR + Fernando Romero located in Mexico. Now, they shared with us this HD video of the work already finished. The video is courtesy of Onnis Luque.

is that the real mexico?
Ok, so, what is the real México?, is Juárez City, is Tepozteco, is Neza. City or Miravalle Izt. ? Nooo wait… i know it… Condesa Neighborhood, no no, wait maybe Palmas Av. or maybe … San Pedro Garza García or Minerva Av…. noooo that´s right it is Montealbán noooo I got it: Carranza Street in the heart of Tepito.. …
COME ON!!!!! … WE JUST NEED TO CELEBRATE THAT THINGS LIKE THIS HAPPEN IN MEXICO (special in the current days)… otherwise… intead of looking for a real Country, State or even a single street, lets celabrate diversity… ultimately… that is the “real” definition of the urban realm… we just need to overcome that “chafa-metaphysical” way of reeding the reality.. and better trying to explain and understand (till the limits of our rational capacities) the physical-spatial expresion of our current (and past.. if you ask me) societies for a better architectural practice… and that is by definition a multiplicity of “realities” (at least in the way you mention it).
when i think about all of the money, effort, and hype that went into this building, it’s really quite underwhelming.
Now this tells me nothing more than a series of photos, in which the quality of the pictures is usually better.
What would have been interesting to see in a video of such a building, is how the light changes the building during the day, not just people walking by.
I hope they’ve got some kind of incredible, anti-smog coatings on that skin, because that form will make it nearly impossible to clean. I mean, this is Mexico City we’re talking about here.
Are there no views through the skin anywhere? The form is interesting in a sculptural sense, but the density of the site is in pretty stark contrast to appreciating it’s ‘objectness’.
Is there a link to the original article on this project? I would really like to find out what the original inspiration was behind this concept.
