Short Description
Can you imagine designing a pavillion for more than a thousand people?
Arquine presents the call for the construction of a pavilion that will be exhibited during MEXTRÓPOLI, the Architecture and City Festival, during its edition in 2019.
The Arquine competition begins as a discussion platform on urban issues such as the reconversion of the future airport in Mexico City, or the ways of living of migrants who are transiting between Mexico and the United States. For four years now, the competition has called not only for the presentation of ideas but also for the construction of a pavilion that is an activator of social interactions and that is made of recyclable materials. Since the competition evolved to build projects, the first and second places have been installed in Mexico City Centro Histórico.
Registrations for the Arquine Competition No.21 will be open from July 2018 till January 2019.
