Alejandro Aravena: Las Cruces Lookout Point

The Jalisco mountain range, located in Mexico, hosts millions of people every year. Many come to complete a religious pilgrimage through the mountain range. The government, seeking to make the pilgrimage easier, the route more permanent, and the area more accessible so the people surrounding towns on the route can earn income, hired several different architecture firms to each create unique landmarks along the pilgrimage route. Alejandro Aravena’s firm, Elemental, designed Las Cruces Lookout Point. The lookout point needed to look at the crosses on the route and the valley below, so Alejandro Aravena developed a structure with two fronts. The lookout point is at the highest point of the trail and allows visitors a chance to rest with an amazing view of the valley below.
