In 1949 Goeritz settled in Mexico and became professor of visual education and drawing at the Escuela de Arquitectura of the Universidad de Guadalajara until 1954. His work of singular importance was his creation of a museum Experimental El Eco in Mexico City, which had an international impact. A sculpture made by him for the museum, Snake (1953; Mexico City, Mus. A. Mod.), prefigured Minimalism, and the manifesto published on the museum’s inauguration, Arquitectura emocional, had repercussions in the work of architects such as Luis Barragán, who adopted the term to define his own work. He produced a series of Heads and public sculptures such as The Animal of the Pedregal (1954) for the Jardines del Pedregal de San Angel in Mexico City. He worked with architects, especially Barragán, with whom he created a monumental sculpture, The Towers of Satélite, for the Ciudad Satélite in Mexico state in 1957.
