The canopy provides shade and shelter from rain while defining a perimeter for waiting without enclosing it. The architecture reads as a measured gesture within an intense urban setting.

Before the 1970s, ancient Maya history was impenetrable. The civilization's grand ceremonial buildings and striking art, created in parts of Mesoamerica during the Classic Maya period (ad 150-900) had tantalized foreign visitors since the arrival of Spanish conquistadors in the sixteenth century. But no one, including several million twentieth-century speakers of Maya languages, could read the ancient Maya hieroglyphs.

The inscribed genealogies verified membership in family lineages."

Archaeologists in Mexico have uncovered a 1,400-year-old tomb in the Central Valleys of Oaxaca that had been lost to history. The stone structure, built by the Zapotec culture, known as Be'ena'a, or 'The Cloud People', is adorned with sculptures, murals and carved symbols that suggest ritual significance. The Zapotec believed their ancestors descended from the clouds and that, in death, their souls returned to the heavens as spirits.

The new address, dubbed "Casa de Los Leones," or House of the Lions, was built in a historic mansion where original elements like stained glassed windows were preserved, juxtaposed with contemporary design.

Tequila has spent a long time in the shadows of the spirits world. Unfairly stereotyped as a drink reserved for college bars and wild nights, its recent renaissance and the emergence of many popular tequila brands have shown the world that it's worth celebrating after all.
