    YANCUIC MUSEUM | IZTAPALAPA, MEXICO

    Gold Medal - XVIII Biennal of Mexican Architecture

    With the slogan “Let’s Make city”, the winning project is clearly intended to be an activator in the urban environment. It is a design for an integrative museum that opens up to the city and is incorporated into public space, creating physical continuity on the ground floor and visual continuity on the upper storeys, via great windows on the city. The urban strategy of the museum sets out to recover the value of public space as a meeting place at street level and respond harmoniously to the urban junction in which it is set. The building is set back a few metres from the street to generate an urban plaza, a great public lobby that acts as an extension to the museum. Access to the centre is via a diffuse boundary, a forest of column walls that draw the plaza into the inside of the complex.

    Location: Iztapalapa, Mexico
    Client: Papalote Foundation
