Luis Barragán's Legacy in 2076

"Echoes of Hope: The Satélite Legacy."
In the year 2076, humanity faced its greatest challenge. A series of global conflicts, exacerbated by resource scarcity and uncontrolled climate change, pushed the world to the brink of collapse. Major powers clashed in a devastating war that left vast regions of the planet completely devastated.

Amidst this desolate landscape, a small group of survivors found refuge in the Mexican lands. Among them was Miguel, a man who had lost his family during the tumultuous years leading up to the catastrophe. He decided to settle in what used to be Mexico City, now reduced to rubble and memories.

One day, while Miguel was exploring the surroundings in search of supplies, he came across imposing concrete structures. They were the Satélite Towers, a masterpiece of Mexican architecture designed by Luis Barragán in a distant past. Despite the ravages of time and catastrophe, the towers stood tall, their vibrant colors resisting oblivion.
Miguel approached cautiously, marveling at the beauty of the structures. The triangular prisms rose towards the sky, each one painted in bright shades of red, yellow, white, blue, and orange. It was a spectacle of colors in the midst of a gray and desolate world.

As he examined the towers more closely, Miguel noticed something unusual. At the base of one of them, there was a sealed compartment. Carefully, he managed to open it and found an ancient communication device. Surprised, he examined the artifact and discovered that it still worked.

With palpable excitement, Miguel decided to try activating the device. To his amazement, he managed to establish a weak connection with a remote signal. It was an automatic transmission, a message from the past that had been repeating for years, waiting to be received.

The voice in the transmission belonged to a scientist, a man who had worked on creating a project to preserve knowledge and culture before the catastrophe. He explained that the Satélite Towers were not just a work of art but also a repository of crucial information for humanity's survival and rebirth.

With renewed purpose, Miguel set out to decipher the secrets of the Satélite Towers. Over time, along with other survivors who joined him, they managed to unlock the storage systems within the towers. They discovered archives of ancient knowledge, history, science, art, and technology that could be key to rebuilding society.

Thus, in a world that had succumbed to self-destruction, the Satélite Towers became beacons of hope. Miguel and his community worked tirelessly to preserve and transmit that legacy to future generations, hoping that one day humanity could be reborn and learn from its past mistakes.
