Description of project by Colectivo seis + Taller Paralelo + Kababie Arquitectos + Michan Architecture
This pavilion was thought as a space for contemplation and reflection, which arises from the abstraction of a collapse.
This ephemeral threshold, thought as a space for contemplation and reflection, contains within a perfect volume a crater, our interpretation of the destruction caused by earthquakes. Perfect and orthogonal walls of the wall contain within it an inverted vault, a concavity inside which the user is presented with a space closed by four walls without a roof where reflection and memory take the main stage.
The pavilion ( ), as a symbol, is committed not only to and in the memory of the catastrophe and its perpetual echo, but also to the action of change.
After his short life in Mextrópoli 2018, pavilion ( ) will donate his partitions for the reconstruction of affected houses after the earthquakes of September 2017 in the town of San Gregorio Atlapulco, serving those people whose craters still feel and live.
