Open Museum

The project consists of three courtyards of varying sizes, extending the museum into the park and creating a new meeting point adjacent to the Tamayo Museum. The pavilion's form follows the natural flow of pedestrian walkways in the area and introduces a new experience based on interconnected spaces that frame the existing trees, the sky, and the museum's side slope, which becomes a new agora. The design highlights visitors as an integral part of the exhibition by generating a series of reflections within the interior, created by the interplay of mirrors and pathways between the courtyards. From the outside, the pavilion is an almost rectangular, black structure, while inside it opens up and expands through reflections, shadows, courtyards, and the existing vegetation.
