Once upon a time the gods built giant pyramid complexes in Egypt and Mesoamerica as stone markers, like a giant monopoly board. Along came Thoth who wrote his Emerald Tablets - As is Above, So is Below. Actually he wrote the entire story of this reality but this is where it all began.

The stunning upside down pyramid in the middle of Mexico City is designed to get around height limits on new buildings in the capital. The subterranean building will have 10 stories each for homes, shops and a museum, as well as 35 stories for offices. The Earthscraper preserves the iconic presence of the city square and the existing hierarchy of the buildings that surround it. It is an inverted pyramid with a central void to allow all habitable spaces to enjoy natural lighting and ventilation. It will also allow the numerous activities that take place on the city square year round such as concerts, open-air exhibitions and military parades to go ahead.
