[BICENTENARIO PLAZA]> THE DESIGN IS A REFERENCE TO THE REPRESENTATIVE MODEL OF DNA AS TWO LINKS FORMING A DOUBLE HELIX. SIMILARLY, THE DOUBLE HELIX OF HISTORY REPRESENTS THE TWO BASIC FORCES OF MEXICAN HISTORY: INDEPENDENCE [1210] AND REVOLUTION [1910]>[2010]. THE MONUMENT IS VISITABLE AND ILLUSTRATIVE. IT FUNCTIONS AS AN URBAN OBSERVATORY AND CONTAINS DIGITAL TEXTS AND IMAGES DOCUMENTING THE HISTORY OF MEXICO. THE MAIN LIFT -A LARGE CIRCULAR PLATFORM- ASCENDS SLOWLY TO THE TOP WHILE THREE EXPRESS SMALLER LIFTS DESCEND RAPIDLY. VISITORS WILL EXPERIENCE UNREPEATABLE MINUTES THAT MAKE KNOWLEDGE AND INFORMATION TO BE REMEMBERED. THE PLAZA IS A LARGE SCALE OPEN SPACE CONFIGURED AS A VERY SIMPLE GREEN PLATFORM. IT IS PAVED WITH A COMBINATION OF STONE AND GRASS THAT WILL MAKE THE WHOLE PLACE LOOK GREEN. THE PLATFORM IS SLIGHTLY LEVELED IN ORDER TO ADAPT THE WHOLE SURFACE TO EXISTING TOPOGRAPHY.
