the plans for the oma designed torre bicentenario have been stopped. met with strong opposition from the neighbors, the developers have decided to look for a new site.
yeah!! finally!! one of the only coherent decisions of the crazy goverment of Mexico City... good, me, as a native of Mexico City, im happy w/this "ban" of the construction of the building in the designated area...it was against any urban-plan and coherence of the city.... and im not saying how ugly was the cuffin' OMA did for mexico city (inspired by the pyramids??? c'mon Rem!)...anyways, sad there's no OMA/kOOLHAAS building yet in mexico, but happy this wasnt aproved tobe built in the area that they wanted to build it.... but the war is not over, lets see what happens in the next months...

you are to paranoid, it would be good for mexico anyway..
It will get built, question is where? My bet is on Reforma blvd between insurgentes & Juarez ave.
joqui they been wondering what to do on that lot for years...i remember that was also the site for the senate headquaters a couple of years ago....
silence is not paranoid, im a big koolhaas fan... im just not a fan of the morons running mexico city ;)
