Spring Fever: Los Manantiales Restuaurant, Mexico City by Felix Candela-


Built in 1958, Los Manantiales restaurant is situated in Xochimilco, in the South of Mexico City. The restaurant was given the name Manantiales (meaning springs), as there is a natural water source in the town, that used to supply Mexico City with it’s drinking water. The roof, constructed using a concrete membrane, is suggestive of a wave or ripples.
