Another Felix Candela creation is Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal Church, made in the 1950’s. This structure is located in Narvarte, Mexico City, and is surrounded primarily by low residential buildings. He started by making an asymmetrical umbrella, and then tilted it so that the short side of the building rested on the ground. The interior is sky high and almost takes on a Gothic appearance, and almost gives the rest of the building the appearance that the church is being pulled up like a tent. He loved to minimize material over a large space and this is a wonderful representation and structure of him doing so.
