Monterrey Building - Horno Alto #3 : Architecture Information  

HORNO3: MUSEO DEL ACERO MONTERREY, MEXICO



Grimshaw's adaptation of one of Monterrey’s most famous landmarks the Horno Alto #3, into a museum of steel celebrates the Mexican city's industrial heritage. Formerly a working blast furnace, the reconceived building incorporates elements which showcase the most advanced methods of steel fabrication, including a tessellated steel plate roof and a single-span helical stair with cantilevering treads.

The museum opened in September 2007 to coincide with the city’s hosting of the International Forum of Cultures. The transformation from industrial behemoth to museum was celebrated with an opening event where the museum was officially inaugurated by José Natividad González Parás, Governor of the state of Nuevo León.
