| ## Discover what makes it unique For 2010, in anticipation of the two centenaries of the beginning of independence, was proposed an Arch-Monument that would materialize its presence by celebrating the forest, rather than impacting it, and that could simultaneously function as a clear and organizing reference for the Reforma axis. We imagine it as a strategy, more than an object. Our initial approach was to generate a proposal that understood its commemorative purpose but that did not lose sight of its location in a very particular place. We fused these two factors to achieve a single temporal and spatial intention: to be emblematic while simultaneously solving everyday problems. |   | **Client** Competition **Project type** Urban Development & Public Space Location Ciudad de México, México Built area 4,900 **Year(s)** 2009 | Participants Enrique Duarte A.
