Guggenheim Guadalajara

Guggenheim Guadalajara, Modern art museum development in Huentitan district, Guadalajara, Mexico.

Guggenheim Guadalajara was a planned museum for Guadalajara, Mexico, designed by TEN Arquitectos and announced in June 2005 for a site at Parque Mirador Independencia above the Barranca de Huentitán. The scheme stacked museum spaces wrapped in glass, organised around six elements: a tower, an underground gallery, a bridge, an excavation, a platform and the canyon itself.

The Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation and the Jalisco state government carried out a feasibility study in August 2005, and in June 2005 Thomas Krens announced that TEN Arquitectos would design the museum, planned for the Parque Mirador Independencia above the Barranca de Huentitán. Construction was initially scheduled for late 2008. On 26 October 2009, foundation strategy director Juan Ignacio Vidarte announced the project had been cancelled entirely.

The project was never built: on 26 October 2009 the Guggenheim Foundation's global strategy director, Juan Ignacio Vidarte, announced it had been cancelled outright. TEN Arquitectos had won the 2005 competition with a scheme of six elements — a tower, an underground gallery, a bridge, an excavation, a platform and the Huentitán canyon itself. The platform was to carry Avenida Independencia out to the canyon rim.

The project was cancelled in October 2009, so there is no museum to visit at the Parque Mirador Independencia site above the Barranca de Huentitán. The tower, underground gallery, bridge and platform designed by TEN Arquitectos exist only as plans; the feasibility study was completed in August 2005.

The tower was engineered by Guy Nordenson & Associates to withstand an earthquake of magnitude 8.0 on the Richter scale, and its structure was to use reinforced concrete, steel and glass. It would have ranked as Guadalajara's second-tallest tower, after the Torre Torrena.
