Every year, the ECO Experimental Museum in Mexico City, organizes a competition for a temporary
pavilion designed to house various events at the main patio of the exemplary building designed in
1953 by the artist Matthias Goeritz. This year MMX Studio has won the first prize for the 2011 ECO
Pavilion.
The design does not seek to create a stand-alone piece at the main courtyard; on the contrary, the
intervention tries to strengthen the key assets of the original museum, creating an extension of
the architectural experiment that the original building pursues.
The original building was design as an interwoven sequence of emotions created through the
carefully envisioned progression of crooked spaces, light intensity changes and views. As we
acknowledge that, the design for the temporary pavilion creates a new chain of perceptual events
that are linked to the original sequence. The intervention encourages the visitor to move around
the space and discover new fields, new sights and new perspectives. The design creates a field
operation from which new perspectives emerge as one goes through it.
The pavilion is composed by two interwoven systems of ropes running freely through the two
courtyards. The new three-dimensional surfaces, create screens of varying densities that
reconfigure the openness of the original courtyards into a more confined and enclosed space.
The new confined space changes constantly as it gets flooded with shadows produced by the rope
system. Thus the courtyard becomes an ever changing stage that responds to both, the movement of
the visitor and the changing patterns of light through the day.

每年,墨西哥都会在ECO实验博物馆举行临时展台设计的竞争。今年由MMX工作室夺冠。
设计没有在主庭院划出一块独立的区域做,反而试图加强与博物馆的联系,创造出了一个原有建筑的延伸空间。
在建筑的一角,精心创建一个绳索交织序列,带来丰富的光影和空间变化。这是一个感性的空间,鼓励游客在其间游走探索,不同的新领域,新景点,新视角。设计建立了一个全新的体验空间。运用绳索交织系统,在院子中创造出不通密度的三维表面,并在局部形成一个较为封闭的空间。空间的开合关系不断变化,并受到绳索投下的阴影影响。在一天中变化无穷,并与游客发生互动。
着实精彩无限。
