520 8 $aOne hundred years ago (1910) in Mexico City, the construction of a monumental building had just started. This neo-classic building was to be the national chambers of the Senate and Deputies in Mexico City during President Porfirio Diaz regime. The creator of the project was French architect and painter Émile Bénard of the École des Beaux-Arts of Paris, who never saw his design finished. This handsome edition remembers the life and artistic-architectural legacy of Bénard, highlighting the designs of what could have been the grandiose centennial dream and recalls the historic and political reasons of the destruction of the incomplete structure in the 1930's. Mexican architect Carlos Obregón Santacilia saved the cupola and modified it into what is now the Monument to the Revolution, an art deco structure that became the burial place of many historic Revolution heroes: Francisco I. Madero, Venustiano Carranza, Plutarco Elías Calles, Lázaro Cárdenas, Francisco "Pancho" Villa and other fellow revolutionaries. Beautifully illustrated with many color reproductions of Bénard's watercolors and architectural designs.
