Armed Forces Memorial

The project contemplates the design of a plaza that incorporates a Memorial, a cultural center, an open-air theater and an outdoor sculpture project. The design of the Armed Forces Memorial arises from the fragmentation of the volume into 32 parts which represent each of the states of Mexico, making the building the main element of the project. The interior of the Memorial is made of white marble engraved with the names of all the soldiers who lost their lives fighting organized crime, the cenotaph sits on a water mirror that rises towards an open niche, where a waterfall will meet the resting base of the cenotaph.

 Another element of the construction is the Armed Forces Cultural Center. These installations also comprehend a summary of the Armed Forces' history and main achievements, as well as a visual catalogue of their technology and armament. Within the same area, an additional interactive installation expresses the relationship between the late military personnel and the design principles of the architecture and sculptural projects.

 Thirty-two white marble monoliths were projected and scattered throughout the gardens. The monoliths were originally conceived as if the national territory was scattered across the square's landscape, respecting our nation's political division and zoning.
