During the 9th edition of Design Week Mexico 2017, Materia was commissioned to design the Museo Tamayo’s annual Project, the most significant cultural attraction of the week. The site within the museum’s gardens in Chapultepec Park, the capital’s biggest public park. For 6 months, starting October 11th 2017, the temporary architectural pavilion has and will continue to be a main element of the site, receiving hundreds of people every day. Parteluz is an artifact made pavilion and place — a tool for the mapping of time, the dissection of light and the embracement of shadow. The pavilion serves as a fragmenting filter of the surrounding gardens and the infinity of the sky. Its language expresses contrast and duality: object and void coming together in an intertwined fabric of contemporary spirit. Made with craft and distilled technique, the space invites for reflection and contemplation. The installation consists of 70 columns of prefabricated white concrete, symbolizing the Stereotomic character of Mexican architecture and its relationship with the earth. Their separation provides a dissection of the immediate context of the Tamayo Museum and Chapultepec Park. The columns, each 4.8 meters high, are set in a curved layout around the user, creating an intimate space. The columns are connected with double pine-wood beams which represent Mexican craftsmanship. The resulting fabric projects the changing shadows onto the surface of the columns.
