Visitor Guide

Visitor Tip

Walk around the base to see the diagonal structure up close; if the lobby is accessible, look for how the exoskeleton meets the ground without clunkiness.

Best Photo Spot

Best from Paseo de la Reforma across the street, late afternoon when the diagonals cast sharp shadows.

Access & Hours

Private office tower; public access generally limited to lobby/retail (if open); no observation deck.

Insider Note

Those diagonals aren’t just style—they’re the lateral system made visible, a Rogers signature.

Time Needed

20–45 min

Design & Structure

DiagridExoskeleton
Computational Process

High-tech structural expression: external bracing and modular facade coordination; designed through BIM and structural optimization for seismic performance.

Materiality

Steel exoskeleton + glass; materiality matters because structure becomes facade rhythm and sun-control.

Structural Innovation

Engineering highlight: external braced frame handling lateral loads while freeing interior plates.
