Designed by Enrique de la Mora and Leonardo Zeevaert, the Seguros Monterrey building, constructed in 1960, was a pioneer in Mexico for its tree-like structure and free hanging floors supported by steel tension cables. Its structural and functional approach marked a milestone in modern Mexican architecture, influencing similar projects internationally.
Keywords: Tension Cables, Open Floor Plans, Load-Bearing Structure.
