Description
On September 16 of the year 2010, México will celebrate 200 years of independence. For this great event, the Distrito Federal government has started several initiatives; one of them is the construction of several public construction sites, in our city commemorating in this way, the upstart and triumph of our independence.
One of these sites, will be the Bicentennial of Independence and Revolution Centenary square and Symbol . Due to the great symbolic significance of this area we have decided to invite architects, urbanist, landscape architects and plastic artists from around the world to propose their urban, architectural, landscape and sculpture design. This Square (Plaza) is to be the most important contribution of the century to the symbols and urban space of México City.
Our Mexico City, is the second largest metropolitan concentration of the world, a vibrant city with a marvelous past and great future challenges.
The Bicentennial of Independence and Revolution Centenary Square and Symbol will be located at a transition spot between the historic city and the modern city. This is no causality, the site was selected because it is the ideal housing for the symbol of our respect for the past, as well as the trust in the future we wish for our city.
The Distrito Federal government is open to any ideas that may make of the Square, and Bicentennial and Revolution Centenary Symbol a public space that will be a turning point in our contemporary history.
The selected space for the future construction of this design, found on the south area of the historic Downtown area of Mexico City, is, what we today, know as Plaza Tlaxcoaque. This plaza is settled on the edge of the “20 de noviembre” avenue, a street that, towards the north, leads in to the “Plaza de la Constitucion “(Zocalo or Main Square). Toward the South, it leads to the urban corridor of “Calzada de Tlalpan”.
