The line of the buffer zone passes over Lake Chalco dividing not only the heritage, but also the waters of the Lake into parts - between Mexico City and the State of Mexico. My intervention is to create a second bridge above the Lake so as to confuse the exisiting boundary which is bride extended from the land. The proposed bridge creates space for aquaculture farming and agricultural farming in the parcels formed, where an artesian aquifer purifies the lake waters. The pure waters can then be stored in the volcanic crater of Xico, which lies in the State of Mexico. This proposal not only blurs the boundaries, but makes both political entities part of a water system that they were both historically part of.
