The identity that supports the work developed by the
firm, with headquarters in Mexico City since 1979, comes as a result from the
fact that there is not an ulterior ideology norming the form, the language or
the materials used; the team work is aside from unique discourses ascribed to
any project. For Pascal Arquitectos each practice, each work is the outcome of
particular and determining factors such as available resources, social or
location context, everything is exhaustively analized. The commitment is at the
same time with the client and the final user, as well with the environment and
the city. All the above is based upon an unique research process and
experimentation using new materials and technologies.
The atelier comprises a polyfunctional group whose
development does not depends on typology specialization that can become
creativity and innovation restraint. For this reason at Pascal all kind of
projects are produced: residential, corporate, contract and hospitality,
temples or ritual spaces besides developing –depending on each particular case,
the architecture, the interior and furniture design up to the lighting and
landscape design too.
The work of the past thirty
years have left a lot of knowledge and experience. Amongst the more
representative are the Sheraton “Centro Histórico” hotel, located in front of
the Alameda Central; and Meditation House, in Bosques de las Lomas, that has
been worldwide recognized with numerous awards. The firm has also venture into
restoration and recycling projects catalogued
as historical and artistic buildings, an example is the the original Bolivia
building –designed in 1962 by architect José Villagrán. The atelier’s work has been widely published.
