Anahuacalli Museum / Taller de Arquitectura - Mauricio Rocha

Diego Rivera began the great dream of achieving the City of Arts in the South of Mexico City in a landscape of volcanic stone with native vegetation that emerges from it. In the 1940s, he began to imagine how to carry out his project in this place, inviting Juan O'Gorman and his daughter Ruth Rivera to collaborate. They envisioned buildings constructed with the same stone as the site and carried out the first exercises of murals on the ceilings with the colored stones that they later created at Ciudad Universitaria.
