LIGA Espacio para arquitectura invites you to the opening of the exhibition "Architecture for Gods" on Thursday, June 22, 2023, at 7:00 PM. Guest photographers: Lorena Darquea, Luis Gallardo, Onnis Luque, Luis Young, and Arturo Arrieta.
The Heroico Colegio Militar (Agustín Hernández Navarro and Manuel González Rul, 1976) is a project as emblematic as it is enigmatic. Located on the outskirts of Mexico City, this work is only accessible to civilians at 80 km/h, from the second level of the Periférico highway. From that vantage point, one can glimpse a grand monumental plaza surrounded by a series of buildings that evoke a pre-Hispanic past, as well as a dystopian future. In its nearly 50-year history, it has rarely been photographed. The existing archival material consists of only a few series of images, an iconic music video by Luis Miguel, and an Arnold Schwarzenegger film.
