Please join us at the Center for Architecture for the opening of El Helicoide: From Mall to Prison. 

Built in the late 1950s as a state-of-the-art, drive-in mall, El Helicoide was never completed and went through decades of abandonment, failed private and public projects, and informal occupations until the security police took it over in 1985. A modern ruin, the building epitomizes modernity’s utopic dreams and their dystopian reality, ultimately presenting the dark side of modernity in Latin America.
