| The Torres de Satélite in Mexico City is a highway sculpture by Mathias Goeritz and Luis Barragán, completed fifty years ago. The towers stand dramatically as the busy highway wraps around it, and the urban environment around that. The five obelisks are regarded as the entrance to the Ciudad Satellite suburb. The concrete towers introduce a colorful statement on the city fabric, a sort of mixing of city aesthetic, billboards and such, and the infrastructure. |
