Architectural reviewSummary: Tadao Ando’s Centro Roberto Garza Sada (CRGS) opened early in 2013 on the campus of the University of Monterrey, Mexico. More than a simple emblem for the university − which, judged in terms of this year’s increased number of student applications, already promises to be a success − the new art, architecture, and design school provides an image of symbolic power for the capital of the north-eastern Mexican state of Nuevo León.
Ando named the project ‘Gate of Creation’ and further advanced a series of mystical allegories in its context: the gate is going to become the diagonal entrance to the campus as it develops in the near future, but it is also to be a metaphorical portal to mark the beginning of the students’ educational journey.
