The present study examines the Great Temple of the Aztecs as it has been seen through the eyes of different people through time. It does not intend to be a comprehensive history of the Temple's interpretations, as many important viewpoints have been discarded for the sake of the central questions.

520 $a The present study examines the Great Temple of the Aztecs as it has been seen through the eyes of different people through time. It does not intend to be a comprehensive history of the Temple's interpretations, as many important viewpoints have been discarded for the sake of the central questions.
520 $a It exemplifies three important moments in which the Great Temple of the Aztecs was "reinvented": sixteenth-century New Spain, the Enlightenment in New Spain and Europe, and the Mexican post-revolutionary PRI ( Partido Revolucionario Institucional) regime in the twentieth century. It concentrates on interests of three different groups of people which had different visions and agendas to fulfill: the regular orders during the sixteenth century (Franciscans and Dominicans), the early philosophers of history during the eighteenth century, and the scholars, scientists, artists and architects involved in the national reconstruction after the Mexican Revolution of 1910.
520 $a This dissertation contains a history of the "ideas" of the Temple, revealing, among other things, the way in which contemporary Mexicans have constructed their identity and ways of action. The general ideas of "the Great Temple of the Aztecs" mediated by different viewpoints---as is the scientific one, or the one of the ruling party---say more about contemporary fields of knowledge and national politics than about the temple or the Aztecs "itself." The reading of these different interpretations does not intend to discredit them, but to raise the broader issue of the complexity of human self-understanding.
520 $a The challenge would be to "loosen" rigid rational understandings in order to visualize the world as something that is given, alive, and unique. This would raise the possibility of creating qualitative, yet modern architecture, a half-breed or "mestizo" architecture. This may be possible when seeking the metaphorical power of architecture as poiesis, something that may come easier to Mexicans because it is inherently rooted in the metaphoric capacity of the Nahua language to create poetic images, still active in Mexican mentality exemplified with the Nahua world Coatl, "Serpent-Twin" or "Carnal-Brother."
