The Arq. Rosen it will take two years to finish and describes your project: two forty-foot monolithic rectangular arches serve as the primary theme and focal point for the new complex of Mola's.
The arches, a Latin America symbolization and the other, the United States, were designed to reflect these diverse cultures meet. They are also regarded as the metaphorical bridges that MoLAA provides to and from the Americas, and the idyllic unit in the Western hemisphere. Apart from the arches, small square openings surround the outer walls of the museum's, creating a necklace of light while the Sun continues its daily path across the sky. Floating under the arches, an expansive reflection pool held by MoLAA's proximity to the ocean Pacifico to compensate for the rigidity of the angular structure, a cylindrical tower emerges from the pool of reflection, and balances the geometric balance of design.
