Summary An effort to focus on the universally important contributions of the modern Mexican tradition to the country as well as to the entire world. We show how the lessons of European masters were transformed, nationalized and developed into creative proposals that were brilliant and original. We explore how these innovations were put to the service of the people, in order to provide answers to the changes in Mexican society, to its ways of living and to the possible uses of the country's public and private spaces. The construction of the Ciudad Universitaria (university zone), the erect, sky scraping buildings of Barragan, the levitating forms of the churches of Candela and many other innovators and innovations of modern Mexican architecture figure as focal points of this program.
