Guggenheim Guadalajara
Guadalajara, Mexico
Asymptote’s design for a new Guggenheim Museum in Guadalajara, Mexico projects an iconic architectural presence on a spectacular site. The four sculptural corner building volumes that rise up from the ground plane and the sweeping surfaces of the museum suspended above create a remarkable space that transitions between the city and the surrounding canyon. In this dynamic public space visitors can access the public amenities housed in the corner buildings, view large-scale sculptures on exhibit or enter the museum interior via escalators set against an extraordinary panorama.
