Suarez first approached Siqueros in 1960, and in 1965 commissioned him to paint a mural for his Hotel de la Selva in Cuernavaca.

In 1966 the mural plan was expanded and transferred to the Hotel de Mexico, where the mural would become a tourist attraction pulling customers to the hotel.

President Gustavo Díaz Ordaz may have suggested the change to make the mural as accessible to tourists as possible.

The architects Rossell and Ramón Miquela Jáuregui worked with Siqueros to design a diamond-shaped building that would present a huge surface for his mural.

Inside there were areas to stage plays, dance performances, concerts and art exhibitions.

The Polyforum was started early in the 1970s and completed before Siqueiros died in 1974.

The building's exterior is a dodecahedron, while the interior is an octagon.

It was built by the architects Guillermo Rossell de la Lama, Ramón Miquela Jáuregui and Joaquín Álvarez Ordonéz.

The Polyforum mural of the "March of Humanity" by Siqueros acknowledges the potential of technological progress but is critical of the failure of the Mexican Revolution to achieve freedom and social justice.
