Through Architecture for Gods, a contemporary record of the building Heroico Colegio Militar, an imitable example of Mexican architecture designed by Agustín Hernández and Martín González Rul in 1976, is created. Apart from the official documentation from the late ‘70s, there is relatively little photographic documentation of the building as it is part of the Mexican military infrastructure and has restricted access. With this project, LIGA showcases an intriguing under-represented work from Mexican architecture history in a contemporary interpretation, simultaneously creating a culture around emerging architectural photography in Mexico. This initiative culminates in an exhibition, followed by a series of conversations with the photographers, as well as historians and architects. Finally, all the material collected will be accessible on the LIGA—ARCHIVES platform, promoting its consultation and creating a permanent record of the project.

Arturo Arrieta is a Mecixan-born photographer and studied architecture at The National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM). His photography focuses on capturing spontaneous moments of people walking down the street, as well as their interaction with the spaces, a geometric blend provided by the architecture and the intervention of natural light as they pass by everyday characters.

Lorena Darquea, an Ecuadorian architect and photographer and graduate of ITESM, explored the field of photography in the year 2009 when attending the workshop of Visual Arts at the university of Aalto in Helsinki, Finland.

Luis Young is an architect who graduated with academic excellence from the Faculty of Architecture at the National Autonomous University of México (UNAM). During his studies, he carried out a residency at the Berlin Institute of Technology (Technische Universität Berlin). Young has collaborated with various studios in both Berlin and México City.
