Méxtropoli 2018. A pavilion to support reconstruction A group of architects created Pabellon ( ), a structure whose parts will be donated to help reconstruction after the 2017 earthquake in Mexico City.

Michan Architecture as Architects

Michan Architecture, Colectivo seis, Taller Paralelo and Kababie Arquitectos designed a brick pavilion unveiled at the fith edition of the Méxtropoli architectural festival 2018, in Mexico City. ‘Pabellón ( )’ was thought as a space for contemplation and reflection, which arises from the abstraction of a collapse, representing earthquakes.

The pavilion was committed not only in the memory of the catastrophe and its perpetual echo, but also to the action of change. After its short life in Méxtropoli the structure’s partitions will be donated for the reconstruction of houses destroyed in San Gregorio Atlapulco during the earthquake of 2017.
