Sacayón by Eduardo Manzo
elPeriódico (February 4, 1911) The proposal to UNESCO for the Civic Center in Guatemala City is considered Cultural Heritage of Humanity should be encouraged debate on the teaching of multiculturalism in higher education and particularly in the schools teaching architecture and engineering. Interculturalism is postponed demand to achieve a pluralistic universe, which must be present in all disciplines of education, in accordance with the strategic plan of the National University. A claim that will undoubtedly be ratified by the next congress of university reform.
over half a century ago, when multiculturalism was not fashionable visa to enter international and national conferences on education, a group of architects and artists from Guatemala, was given the task of establishing a center urban modernity, linking knowledge came as world-renowned specialists Le Corbusier and the passion of Maya architecture Frank Lloyd Wright, with the knowledge of local culture. This is the Civic Center, a tribute to multiculturalism, including interdisciplinary, blending harmoniously architecture and visual arts as well as a successful example of teamwork, where the leadership of Carlos Merida was great with Montes, Haussler and Minondo . In the outer and inner wall of these buildings in the state, Efraín Recinos, Dagoberto Vásquez, and Roberto Grajeda Mena left Goyri reflected significant passages of the national history of the main legends about the origin of earth and corn, taken from the Popol Vuh and other representations and Mayan symbols that blend artistically in these buildings.
Unfortunately, the colossal ignorance larger than the old penitentiary and the late-stage autonomy from the authorities of the institutions housing the Civic Center, has sheltered the abandonment of many of its original expression. Also contaminate tens of thousands of people who daily pass it, oblivious to the cultural value around them. We must recover this urban space for the teaching of intercultural and provide a tribute to his nomination of outstanding universal value.
