The competition to design the itinerant pavilion reinforces Provincia's commitment to establishing a tradition of developing innovative ideas on contemporary themes through ephemeral structures for the city of Tuxtla Gutiérrez, Mexico, during the Architecture and City Festival, which will take place in April 2019.
Participants are challenged to go beyond purely formal, aesthetic considerations for a physical space; they must address the needs of the City Museum while offering local residents, as well as national and international visitors, the opportunity to experience and reflect on their everyday environment in new ways.
The purpose of this pavilion is to serve as a multi-use space. Potential uses include exhibitions, information modules, screenings, workshops, dialogues, and/or presentations. The task is to develop an ephemeral, recyclable, demountable, transportable, and reusable pavilion—a space that represents the museum outside its walls. All of this is intended to achieve favorable outcomes that support the museum's objectives and expand its reach.
