Plaza de las Tres Culturas,a physical juxtaposition of Aztec, Spanish and Modern culture heritage in the heart of Mexico City, charged with historical meaning. With Mente en Blanco we are looking for a new experience for this specific location. To create this different experience we propose to privatize the square and make it accessible only via the Metropolitan Infographic Center. The MIC will be embedded in the square and charged with the history of the place. The emptiness on the square will be contrasted with the active edges and the surrounding city. This results in the intensified experience of Mexican history on this sacral place.
