As Mexico - Tenochtitlan emerged from the water, the pavilion also emerges from the water, stretching its "branches" and growing to reach the sky, as if feeding on the vital liquid. The water pavilion is a metaphor for the ancient city of Mexico - Tenochtitlan, created in a place where there should be no city, and even so ... it exists. Elevated on an atypical floor, the space of the pavilion rises where before it was thought there could be nothing, thus creating its own space. Mexico - Tenochtitlan was an incredible place, a city in the middle of a lake, surrounded by mountains and bathed by the sun's rays, now the pavilion is surrounded by streets, cars and city, but still created on the water and bathed by the light of the sun. The changes are drastic, but the essential is still there: the water, the mountains and the sun. In the water pavilion, each of its levels represents an essential part of the city. The soil: Its origin and foundation remains undisturbed, with water always reflecting the sky, but at the same time hidden under the layers of the city. The viewpoint: Represents the city itself, the space of transition where people walk, explore and learn. A space full of life, light, joy, deceptively regarded as the most important part of the structure we call society. And finally: the sky. The cover with its capricious shape represents the future, transparent and distant, to which we always aspire to reach. Mexico needs a new icon that invites people to fall in love with what is being done in the country, something that shows that this country is also capable of doing what no one else dares, a point of inspiration that distills magic and represents all surreal that we are as a nation. Mexico needs a new architecture and this is the opportunity for it to exist.
