Memorial to Victims of Violence in Mexico
Memorial to Victims of Violence in Mexico

The Memorial to Victims of Violence in Mexico (Spanish: Memorial a las víctimas de violencia en México) is a memorial in Chapultepec, Mexico City. Its construction started in 2012 during the presidency of Felipe Calderón and it was opened on 5 April 2013, during the presidency of his successor, Enrique Peña Nieto. As its name indicates, it was dedicated to honoring those who have suffered violence in the country. The memorial is composed of 70 steel walls that have different textures and various reflectors project light from different angles, including some underwater. The architects were Julio Gaeta and Luby Springall (through their company Gaeta Springall Arquitectos) and Lighteam was responsible for the illumination. It is described by their designers as an incomplete and living project, where citizens can write the names of the victims. Additionally, around 40 quotations related to violence and memory, by historical figures, are engraved in the walls. The project was well-received by architecture and art publications. In 2014 the memorial won the Best Use of Color Award at the AL Light & Architecture Design Awards. However, it received polarized comments from human rights groups and society due to two factors. The first was its location at Campo Marte, operated by the Secretariat of National Defense, and the second was participation in the project by Calderón who started the Mexican drug war in 2006.
