Teotihuacan: geometry at a monumental scale

Useful to know

Teotihuacan contains major Mesoamerican monuments, including the Sun and Moon pyramids and the Temple of Quetzalcoatl. Their arrangement follows geometric and symbolic principles. [1]

Compare each monument’s size with the overall composition of routes and spaces. Scale is not explained by height alone. Relationships between monuments shape how the city is experienced through movement.
