The pavilion’s design is born from the idea of representing Mexico
through its traditional elements. The proposal scheme is centered around
the idea of creating a green space within the Expo which at the same
time represents our preoccupation to offer a better life standard for
cities through the recovery of green areas rather than creating a
protagonist building.
The pavilion’s main feature lies within the design of the papalotes
(kites), a word that comes from the Nahuatl papalotl that means
butterfly, used as a cultural meeting point between mexican and chinese
cultures. Our proposal is to look into a future with areas that are
thought, destined and planned specifically for leisure, the recovery of
parks and green areas, where new generations might meet in a city with a
“better living”.
