Description
With its four-storey theme pavilion, Mexico aimed to bring people closer to nature and food production again - inspired by the symbol of traditional Mexican cuisine, corn. The idea of the architect Francisco López Guerra was to celebrate the most important cereal of Mexico, thus the shape of the pavilion recreates a big corn cob. Our company participated in this challenge covering the structure with 19 PVC mesh printed leaves. We were also in charge of the delivery and installation of the ETFE facades, the ETFE cushions covering the dome above the entrance sculpture, as well as the PVC velaria placed on the restaurant on the roof of the pavilion.
