This article analyses the political economy of Henri Lefebvre's concept of ‘state space’ with specific attention directed towards the Monument to the Revolution in Mexico City, completed in 1938. The conditions of modernity can be generally related to the spatial ordering of urban landscapes within capital cities conjoining the specifics of national identity with imitative processes. Antonio Gramsci captured such sentiments through his understanding of the condition of ‘passive revolution’. The key contribution of this article is to draw attention to forms ofeveryday passive revolution, recognising both cosmopolitan and vernacular aspects of modern architecture in relation to the Monument to the Revolution. A focus on the Monument to the Revolution thus reveals specific spatial practices of everyday passive revolution relevant to the codification of architecture and the political economy of modern state formation in Mexico. These issues are revealed, literally, as vital expressions in the architecture of everyday passive revolution in modern Mexico.

“被动革命”的架构：现代墨西哥的社会、国家和空间

本文分析了亨利·列斐伏尔“国家空间”概念的政治经济学，特别关注于 1938 年完工的墨西哥城革命纪念碑。现代性的条件通常与首都城市景观的空间秩序有关城市将民族认同的细节与模仿过程相结合。安东尼奥·葛兰西通过他对“被动革命”状况的理解捕捉到了这种情绪。本文的主要贡献是提请注意日常被动革命，认识到现代建筑与革命纪念碑相关的国际化和本土化方面。因此，对革命纪念碑的关注揭示了与建筑编纂和墨西哥现代国家​​形成的政治经济学相关的日常被动革命的特定空间实践。从字面上看，这些问题被揭示为现代墨西哥日常被动革命架构中的重要表达。
