Arquine Competition No.26 | MEXTRÓPOLI 2024 Pavilion

Since 1998, Arquine has held an architectural competition that allows ideas and proposals to be compared on equal terms. In this edition, the invitation is to design, build and activate a pavilion in the Historic Center of Mexico City within the framework of the MEXTRÓPOLI Architecture and City Festival.

Contestants must project a piece that meets the conditions specified in the bases of this contest in terms of time, costs and characteristics, considering the ability to provoke and attract citizens, which will be a fundamental part of the evaluation of the proposal.

Objectives

• Convene, with a universal character, to present ideas for the development and construction of a pavilion, recyclable or reusable, without exception, complying with the requirements established in these bases.

• Turn the pavilion into a reference space within the framework of the MEXTRÓPOLI Architecture and City Festival, which manages to provide the festival with a space for reflection and discussion around architecture and the city.

 

 Contestants

Professionals or students from all over the world can participate, individually or in teams. Teams can include members from any discipline, although it is suggested that one member be an architect. Each team must have a representative, who cannot be part of another team.

It is not necessary to have some type of registration from the professional association of the country of origin to participate.

Only one proposal can be submitted per team.
