oai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article-251992021-01-26T18:47:13Z The unknown projects of Ciudad Universitaria Proyectos desconocidos de la Ciudad Universitaria Noelle Gras, Louise Ciudad Universitaria Patrimonio cultural de la humanidad The purpose of this article is to clarify certain mistakes or omissions within the historiography of Ciudad Universitaria, and at the same time to track projects that were not built. It is known that Mario Pani and Enrique del Moral were the authors of the Masterplan, coordinating the working teams that were comprised by about fifty architects, including Maria Stella Flores, who was the Chief of the workshop of the project. Carlos Lazo was the General Manager of the construction, while Carlos Novoa was in charge of the administration as Executive President of the Board of Trustees, a fundamental position that allowed the works to come to their fruition. The main source of information –editions 36 and 39 of the magazine Arquitectura/México– has a few errors in the attribution of works, as well as in the data of the projects which were not built: Main Lecture Room, Hygiene Centre, General Services facilities, Building of the Department of the Distrito Federal for students, two dorms, Latinamerican House and North American House, Bathroom booths and Men’s Locker room. Three projects, whose plans and drawings were found, are analyzed: the Church by Ricardo de Robina; Dorms for students by Enrique Carral Icaza and Manuel Martínez Páez; and the Casino and Gym by Antonio Pastrana and Raúl Fernández. M ucha es la tinta que ha corrido sobre la Ciudad Universitaria de la Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México con la reciente declaratoria de patrimonio cultural de la humanidad, celebrada con gran brillantez el 21 de septiembre de 2007; en esa ocasión el entonces rector, Juan Ramón de la Fuente, recibió de manos del secretario general de la United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (unesco), Koïchiro Matsuura, el documento que avala la designación, precisamente en el día en que se cumplían 456 años de la fundaciónde la Real y Pontificia Universidad de México.
