Description
With its four-storey themed pavilion, Mexico wanted to bring people closer to nature and food production again - inspired by the symbol of traditional Mexican cuisine, corn. The idea of architect Francisco López Guerra was to celebrate Mexico's most important grain, so the shape of the pavilion replicates a large corn cob. Our company took part in this challenge and covered the structure with 19 sheets of PVC mesh. We were also responsible for the supply and installation of the ETFE façades, the ETFE cushions covering the dome above the entrance sculpture and the PVC velaria placed on the restaurant on the roof of the pavilion.
