Based on the analysis of Mijares' career, writings, and interviews, this essay will investigate the ideas that we consider to be the focus of his consolidated work in order to identify them in what we believe was his manifesto of architecture: the Jungapeo cemetery chapel. The chapel will be analyzed based on the sequential use of architectural elements since this was one of Mijares' primary means of composition and reflection. In addition, the details of its construction will be analyzed through the redrawing of the building and a series of interviews of the key actors in the process of construction and as well as its current users. This is done to highlight the importance of social participation in the process of construction, which determined the final form, as well as how the chapel was appropriatiated and given meaning by the community. La obra de Carlos Mijares pasó por varias etapas de exploración y maduración hasta adquirir un lenguaje característico. Con base en el análisis de su trayectoria profesional, escritosy entrevistas, en este artículo se indagarán las ideas que consideramos, fueron el eje de su obra consolidada para identificarlas en lo que estimamos fue su obra manifiesto: la capilla del panteón de Jungapeo. Se analizará la obra a partir del uso de secuencias de los elementos arquitectónicos, porser una de las principales herramientas compositivas y de reflexión usadas por el arquitecto. Además se mencionarán los pormenores analizados de su construcción por medio del levantamiento físico de la obra y de entrevistas a actores clave del proceso de construcción, así como a usuarios actuales, con el fin de destacar la importancia de la participación social en este proceso que determinó el resultado formal, así como su apropiación y significación por parte de la comunidad.
