IDEA
Inspired by the greatest symbols of Mexico, with a unique and sophisticated design, rises among the most important avenue of the capital, Torre México. The “X” cross, chosen as the main element for the architectural and structural design is the main Mexican Symbol for excellence.
Inspired by the Codex Mendoza, which shows the foundation of Tenochtitlán (Mexico City), the “X” highlights the space-time insularity of the Mexica people and in the center of it, an eagle perched on a cactus devouring a snake, shows the place where the gods pointed out the Aztec city should be built.
The facade retakes the most significative elements of the Mexican National Emblem, the feathers of the Eagle and the skin of the Snake.
