Building Name: Bicentenary Towers - Tezozomoc
Other Names: Serpiente emplumada Tower
Adress: Azcapotzalco Technology Park
City: Ciudad de México
State/Province: México, D.F.
Country: México
Architect: Gregorio Vasquez and Manuel Wedeles
Interesting Facts/Records: Celebrate 200 years of Mexican independence. Shaped by two ellipses, which intercept each other at their core. These ellipses extrude and twist separately, one slightly and the other dramatically, generating moments where the two shapes intersect and complement one another. The outer shell of Tezozomoc creates an interior vertical void where air can circulate and be cleaned up by various layers of air filters
