MONTERREY CITY HAS BEEN IN A CULTURAL AND URBAN REVITALIZATION MOVEMENT. FLOWING BY THIS INERTIA WITHIN THE SPAIN PARK A RENOVATION WITH A CULTURAL SPACE IS BEING PLANNED WHERE THE MONTERREY WATCHTOWER WILL BE THE MAIN ATTRACTION. AN EXTRUDED RECTANGLE THAT ALONG ITS VERTICAL PATH GLIMPSES ARE OPEN TO LET THE VISITOR REDISCOVER THE MOUNTAINS AND THE SANTA CATARINA RIVER THAT SHAPES THE CITY AND AT THE SUMMIT POINT OF THE TOWER THE VIEW FOCUSES ON THE NATURAL MONUMENT OF THE CERRO DE LA SILLA.
