The architecture and design studio Arroyo Solís Agraz was invited to design an exhibition and sales pavilion under the International Footwear and Leather Items Exhibition (SAPICA), the most important fair in the realm in Latinoamerica which is held year after year in León, Guanajuato in México.
The conceptual proposal consisted of creating a space of overlapping elements, which together formed a shelving system where the products could be displayed.
A solid mesh was created through stacking, joining, separating and overlaying 2,000 wooden pallets; in such a way that they stroke a balance between holding itself up while they bore the weight of the displayed objects.
The main challenge in the design process was to fit together several elements that the firm considered essential in the design and construction of the pavilion; such as the final destination of the material used, the limited time of assembly and disassembly of the pavilion, and the low budget, without sacrificing architectural aesthetics.
The outer shell of the pavilion was outlined using wooden pallets as unaltered productive goods and the structure was accomplished a self-supporting system to avoid damaging the parts in order to return them to its original use once the fair was over. In that way, the environmental impact produced by throwing away the materials could be reduced. The construction final cost was also reduced as the total amount spent on the main building material was recovered.
