Dome

Close-up of sculpture by Mathias Goeritz; Inside the ecological reserve of the Ciudad Universitaria campus stands the Sculptural Space. It is a big round natural solidified lava bed enclosed by a circular enclosure platform, which includes two levels, and surrounded by 64 white triangular prisms that seem to radiate from its center, a bit like a sunflower. The outer diameter of the platform measures 120 meters. There are other large metal and stone sculptures made by contemporary artists surrounding this installation area, hence its name. The sculptors who participated in the design and construction of Sculpture Space include Federico Silva, Manuel Felguérez, Helen Escobedo, Sebastian, Hersúa and Mathias Goeritz.
