Fernando Romero’s architectural vision for the Mexloop network reimagines transportation infrastructure for Mexico’s future while respecting its cultural and natural heritage. The system’s defining element – elevated tubes supported by sculptural concrete pylons – creates a powerful visual dialogue with the landscape, particularly as it traverses the country’s historic agave fields and mountainous terrain. This infrastructure, capable of propelling passengers at speeds up to 700 mph, connects Mexico City with the dynamic Bajío region, including Querétaro, León, and Guadalajara.
The project’s architectural language speaks to both technological advancement and environmental stewardship. The clean lines of the elevated tubes, marked by their distinctive X-shaped supports, provide minimal ground interference, allowing traditional agriculture to continue beneath. This thoughtful integration demonstrates how next-generation infrastructure can coexist with and enhance Mexico’s rich agricultural traditions.

Our station designs serve as multimodal hubs that connect seamlessly with existing transportation networks while creating new civic spaces for surrounding communities. Each station is positioned strategically to support the Bajío region’s diverse industrial base, from technology and automotive to aerospace, while accommodating future expansion. The master plan envisions future phases extending to the ports of Manzanillo and Veracruz, as well as northern corridors connecting to the United States.
Beyond transportation, the project aims to catalyze a high-technology ecosystem throughout the corridor. Station complexes incorporate spaces for research, development, and industry collaboration, positioning Mexico as a leader in the future of mobility. This infrastructure network not only connects cities but establishes a framework for innovation, economic growth, and sustainable development across the region.
