Project Description
For Estudio MMX this project was an interesting collaboration exercise between multiple architecture firms to engineer a design where the material´s different alternatives are explored in line with the possibilities and limitations of the trade participation, as well as the new structures of cooperation between designers and suppliers.
The material qualities, pieces of marble provided by ARCA, were expressed directly by means of a geometry that has allowed this pavilion to be part of several events. These solid pieces of marble are easier to transport and relocate in different spaces and thus encourage the relationship between the material and the piece with the people interacting with it.
The modular nature of the design and the variable systems of aggregation of the elements have resulted in the installation responding to the context and the site in specific and differentiated ways. It has participated in events such as Expo CIHAC —one of the most important construction fairs in Latin America— Plaza Manuel Tolsá and Espacio CDMX in Bosque de Chapultepec to name a few. In each of the sites the assemblies have met the very strict requirements of time and safety.
