Rammed Earth Pavilion

This rammed earth pavilion celebrates Mexico City's rich history through sustainably sourced materials. Its walls, crafted from colorful strata of earth gathered from diverse neighborhoods in Mexico City, embody the city's layered physical and cultural heritage. Once dismantled, the soil will be repurposed for landscaping in the Alameda Central, creating a temporary yet enduring connection between the pavilion and the city's landscape. This project merges architecture, sustainability, and storytelling into a vibrant tribute to Mexico City's past and future.
