Summary
The Avancer Tower, an office building in San Luis Potosí, is a collaboration between two Mexican architectural firms, Manuel Cervantes Estudio and Macías Peredo Arquitectos, each of whom takes differing approaches toward the same end--to create architecture that blends modern architecture with the Mexican landscape and centuries-old building traditions in Mexico. The Avancer Tower achieves this in its color and form, mirroring the red of the soil, the rock and the rusted steel of the mines in the area. This book documents the project, the construction process and the finished building, guided by themes such as materiality, spatial relationships and scale. The book also demonstrates the contributions of the Avancer Tower and other buildings to the cultural life and value of San Luis Potosí.
