Visitors will be exposed to a high-impact sensory experience as they walk through different evolution stages of meso-american cities. From distant past, to sustainable future as represented by the actual architecture of the pavilion. "Key moments" in the city development are represented with eight large spheres made of materials that belong to each stage. Accordingly, there is an "ambiance atmosphere" formed by a surrounding space region and a sound channel. Silk-screened panels show different phases in the city evolution through satellite photographs. Sound channels produce "the sound of the city" for each "key moment" in history. The overall effect is a surrounding time-space environment where sound stands as a "three-dimensional noise symphony".
