Ovo je neutralna arhitektonska intervencija koja dopunjava generalni plan predela TOA organizacije (Taller de Operaciones Ambientales) i projekat Muzeja moderne i savremene umetnosti arhitekata Herzog&de Meuron (Museo de Arte Moderno y Contemporáneo) koji je lociran u parku Parque Mirador Independencia, Guadalahara, Jalisco. Vidikovac i kafe-restoran su postavljeni u prirodni oblik Av. Independencia dela koji nenametljivo ravnaju sve do kosog dela terena. Oba programa su osmišljena jednim arhitektonskim poduhvatom koji se sastojao od iskopavanja zemlje i njenog izmeštanja na izbačenu platformu.
Na prizemnom nivou, vidljiva je samo elegantna ploča koja je izbačena ka klisuri. Na prvi pogled posetilac ima utisak da staje na lebdeći list betona. Stvarna debljina platforme za posmatranje je skrivena pomoću dijagonalne kosine podupirača i celokupna struktura je dobro učvršćena paralelnim mostom koji je osmišljen na sličan način.
Kafe-restoran, lociran u podzemnoj jami koja se nalazi ispred platforme za posmatranje, je potpuno neprimetljiv sa prizemnog nivoa. Iskopana jama doprinosi efektu „plutajuće platforme“ vidikovca. Oba ambijenta rezultat su forme kutije šibica koja se otvara. Servisni prostori takođe su locirani pod zemljom i može im se pristupiti sa dve strane, kroz kafe-restoran i putem nezavisnih bočnih stepenica. Takođe, salon kafe-restorana, koji se nalazi ispod platforme vidikovca, ima velika prozorska okna koja omogućuju pogled preko klisure, i direktno je povezan sa stepenicama koje vode ka otvorenom amfiteatru TOA organizacije niže u klisuri. Glavna vrlina ove direktne i jednostavne intervencije ogleda se u neupadljivom izrazu ovih sadržaja i njihovom odnosu koji suptilno oponaša pejzaž klisure.

This is a neutral architectonic intervention that complements TOA’s (Taller de Operaciones Ambientales) landscaping master plan and Herzog de Meuron’s Museo de Arte Moderno y Contemporáneo (Modern and Contemporary Art Museum) located in the Parque Mirador Independencia of Guadalajara, Jalisco. The lookout‐point and coffee‐restaurant rivet the natural disemboguement of Av. Independencia but unobtrusively align to the sliding gesture of the landscape. Both facilities were achieved through a single architectonic maneuver that consisted of an excavation and displacement of the look‐out ground onto a jutting platform.
At ground level, only a slender slab projected over the gorge is visible. In prima facie, a visitor would have the impression of stepping onto a floating sheet of concrete. The true depth of the observation deck is concealed by the diagonal slant of its corbel underbelly and the overall structure is securely fastened by a parallel bridge devised in similar fashion.
The coffee‐restaurant, located in an underground pit preceding the observation platform, is totally invisible at ground level. The excavated grotto adds to the “floating deck” effect of the look‐out point. Both amenities are the result, as it were, of sliding a match‐box open. The service area is also located underground and may be doubly accessed through the coffee‐restaurant and an independent lateral stairway. Also, the coffee lounge lying below the look‐out enjoys large window panes gazing over the gorge and connects directly to a stairway leading to TOA’s open amphitheater down in the ravine. The main virtue of this direct and simple intervention is that both facilities are inconspicuous to sight and their interrelation subtly emulates the landscape gesture of the ravine.
