Mexico Pavillion Expo Shanghai 2010
Type
Since the theme of the expo is Better City better Life our proposal for the pavilion of Mexico is a search for how to integrate three emergencies that a city faces in its everyday life in a temporary building by means of a clear formal gesture.
1. More public space, less volume.
The first goal is not about creating another massive building in the Expo, but instead explore the spatial potential of the lack of volume. The architecture then is result of the negative of a volume formed by two surfaces, i.e. the vacuum created by the apparent union between an artificial hill for public access and a series of micro umbrellas.
2. Absorb nature, don’t denied it.
Together these two elements form a light cover surface ready to hold photo voltaic cells. This surface also acts as a sun shield making the public space also a retreat from the sun.
3. Column garden
The hill is an extension and brake from the expo main through fare. This space is made up of a garden column, which together with the structural columns recreate a plant nursery, where a list of plants from different parts of the country take part as in a botanical garden. The gardens are columnar cylindrical structures sufficient enough to permit the development of epiphytes, hanging ferns, this selection of plants require very little land for development and reproduction.
4.Modularity is back
The interior floor of the pavilion is left open through a modular space. The sample of the exhibit is based on a multi-column system. The column also functions as a key part of the structure also serves as an element of the exhibition, which functions as a lamp and simultaneously accommodates a system of shutters and screens or as a basis for static objects.
