Abstract
In Mexico the beginning of the independence century coincides with the end of three decades of General Porfirio Diaz presidency. Although the Mexican revolution, it was a wealthy and peaceful period. This condition of wealth brought along a construction peak reflected on different fields of the country in both architectures: religious and public. This official architecture favoured each and all government, health, and security buildings. These constructions were presented by the presidency to the foreign dignitaries as part of the centenary festivities along a series of monuments opened days near the 16th of September 1910 (official date of the festivity) just for the celebration. It's interesting appreciate how the principals buildings were trusted to the foreign architects- a common costume at that time- leaving the less important constructions to de local architects. This condition marks the beginning of a national tendency by the Mexican architects both in their works and writings.Apuntes is registered under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License.
