The Museo de Arte Contemporáneo de Monterrey or MARCO, one of the leading cultural institutions in Latin America, presents inTENtions, an exhibition that shows the development of the architectural projects of the  award-winning Mexican architect Enrique Norten and his firm TEN Arquitectos.

Architecture, being an endeavor of human creativity, has made a place for itself within contemporary art by its use of forms and materials in a search to satisfy the senses beyond a mere shelter. TEN Arquitectos, the firm founded by Norten in 1986, characterises itself by favouring modernity and at the same time making use of tradition, both in small-scale projects such as furniture designs to entire living, commercial and urban spaces.
