At the same time, people who use these structures seem unimpressed. At the Manantiales restaurant, posters cover all the windows and light bulbs pepper the underside of the shell, while the outside is largely obscured by fencing and trees. The other two churches are on busy city blocks, while the Cosmic Rays Pavilion is in the middle of one of the university’s recreational areas. At Cuernavaca, trees have been planted all around the front of the chapel, obscuring most views from that side. “One of the most striking things I noted on the trip was how Candela’s structures were very much integrated into their surroundings and were no longer the standalone structures they used to be when built. Last January Dennis Smith (’16) had the opportunity to travel to Mexico City where he visited five of Felix Candela’s best-known structures: the Chapel of Lomas de Cuernavaca the Church of San Antonio de las Huertas the Church of the Medalla Milagrosa the Cosmic Rays Pavilion and Los Manantiales restaurant.
