This museum if built will defenitely put Guadalajara on the world cultural map

i approve it :)

Wow that's what you call a Museum..... :applause:

wow. that museum will look amazing

WOW! impressive looking museum and I really like the location of it. Nice!

This project is surreal.The architecture is wonderful and the landscape is even better.

Amazing project!!! The location is perfect for this tower. Ive heard from it some years ago. Guadalajara will become the new Bilbao.

Guadalajara will definetly recieve many more tourists now. Hopefully the Bilbao effect will apply here as well.

It's a great tower/gallery. I'm very happy (and a bit jealous) for Guadalajara.

Anybody else notice the giant naked woman? It caught me off guard.

^
I did. :tongue3:

looks weird but in a good way.

WoW, that building is amazing!!

The view will be really nice...

i hope this museum atracts as much turism as it did with Bilbao.

I like the design. I've read in other threads that it hasn't started jet, do you guys know when will it start? and how long will it take to finish it? When it's done I'm thinking about scheduling a visit, but I'll probably be there before that. And by the way, beautiful canyon!

^^ there's no an exact date of construction, but it's been said in the media that i'll probably start early the next year.

It all depends on whether the city can afford such monumental project

I was lucky enough to see this area way back in the 80's. The canyon and waterfall are spectacular. What a beautiful project to compliment this place!!! I certainly hope this get built; and, if built, this would be a world landmark building, in my opinion.

The gorge is fabulous. Other than its interior, this monolith aka museum is a desecration to its immediate surroundings. It is Vegas in Mexico, to put it nicely. I hope this building does not get built.

the museum overall is great.....and the location is perfect.

the location is spectacular.........

Wow, this country keeps surprising me, very nice

I just love it, I´m pretty sure that when i´ts finished it will become an architecturar landmark for Mexico and the rest of Latin America

Wow! its very impresive and elegant, NOT a place where a person whos afraid of height can go to.

Not too sure if I like the overall look of the building, but it has a great interior, and I'm just glad that Guadalajara will be getting a world renowned museum. :) The surroundings can make just about any building that much more appealing. :P

This project is just amazing and the landscape around it is gorgeos. Hope construction begin soon.

Guggengeim will be one of the most amazing buildings in Latin America :D

This will put Guadalajara on the map
: D

No kidding, I would love to spend a day in Guadalajara.

very nice location!

Beautiful location, one of the best museums! That's how a museum should look like, just simple and big!

The gorge is fabulous. Other than its interior, this monolith aka museum is a desecration to its immediate surroundings. It is Vegas in Mexico, to put it nicely. I hope this building does not get built.

I couldn't agree more. They should build it somewhere in the city where it will not spoil this landscape.

stunning!!!!!!!

gr8 idea!!! you can see the location in google earth...I think is 20°44'26.98"N 103°18'38.10"W

If this building is constructed, it would be the world's tallest museum. I don't know what's the world's tallest museum now. But I don't know if the height of a museum should exceed about 50 to 100 metres. The museum has only 24 floors, so the building may have very high ceilings.

Fantastic design. I continue to be amazed at the projects that are being created. The design using the gorge and the surrounding landscape as a work of art. I truly would love to see something this daring in Chicago.

The view from the top must be so amazing, hope it will be approved :)

Incredible design, fantastic location. I agree with others who say this will put Guadalajara on the map. Toursits from throughout the world will come to Guadalajara to experience this fabulouse museum in such a spectacular setting.

The Guggenheim´s of the world

^^ WOW amazing!!

I am impressed!

1. I love the philosophy behind the Guadalajara gug - the natural art and the man made art visible together - just love that! The design is spectacular, too.

2. I like all the gugs, except NYC's. Never liked it much.

Still PRO?

Cancelled sadly... when the 2009 crisis hit. :(

^^Shame. the Guggenheim Guadalajara was going to be the world's tallest museum structure. (this is about the 180 m proposal.)
