Discover the Ephemeral Installations Built for the Mextrópoli 2023 Pavilions

For the ninth time, the MEXTRÓPOLI Architecture and City Festival held the Arquine Competition No. 25 | MEXTRÓPOLI 2023 Pavilion, a platform where architecture, urbanism, and art converge to contemplate and celebrate Mexico City. The event also aims to engage the public by occupying public spaces with architectural pieces that can be activated by visitors. Celebrating public spaces or offering a different perspective on the places routinely traversed is the reason MEXTRÓPOLI showcases these ephemeral architectural pieces.

The jury, consisting of Sandra Barclay, Daniel – Daou, Eva Franch i Gelabert, Rocío Pina, and Diego Rivero Borrell, announced the winning pavilion, which was temporarily integrated into the city with the aim of generating, through its own discourse, an innovative, sustainable, and recyclable proposal. This proposal allowed for the development of an open public program, creating a space for interaction between architecture and the public. On this occasion, we present the winning pavilion titled "Fuera de lugar," accompanied by 11 proposals from universities and independent firms that participated in activating different points in Alameda Central in Mexico City.
