After its premiere at the XIII Architecture Biennale in Venice, LIGA and Cine Tonalá proudly present for the first time in Mexico: ‘RUTA’. The movie takes us to the mountains of Jalisco to introduce us nine architectonical pieces that form part of the project, The Pilgrim Route. The first screening will take place on Saturday November, 24 as part of the ‘Corredor Cultural Roma Condesa’. The movie will show at 9:00 pm at Cine Tonalá. LIGA and Cine Tonalá are furthermore organizing a special screening in presence of the architects Tatiana Bilbao, Derek Dellekamp and Rozana Montiel on Friday November, 30. The movie will show at 8 pm and afterwards there will be time to dialogue with the architects.
Each year, hundreds of people take part in the Ruta del Peregrino (Pilgrim’s Route) – a 117 kilometer pilgrimage through the mountains range of Jalisco that is centered around the adoration to the Virgin of Talpa. This religious voyage has been taking place since the 17th century and represents the pilgrim’s act of faith carried to penitence. In an effort to provide the route with better conditions, nine architecture firms collaborated to build seven architectural landmarks that provide shelter, services and outlook points for the pilgrims.
The Master Plan, designed by Tatiana Bilbao, Derek Dellekamp and Rozana Montiel, was presented in a special exhibition to resonate with the Venice Biennale 2012 theme “Common Ground”. The nine practices involved since the start of the project are Ai Weiwei (Fake Design), Luis Aldrete Arquitectos, Tatiana Bilbao, Christ & Gantenbein, Dellekamp Arquitectos, Alejandro Aravena (Elemental), Godoylab, HHF Architects, and Rozana Montiel (Periférica).
