PANDEA | Art Pavilion in Puebla, Mexico by MX Taller de Arquitectura & DiseñoFebruary 8th, 2017 by Sumit Singhal
Article source: MX Taller de Arquitectura & Diseño PANDEA is a space designed to serve as platform for artists and designers in Puebla; located in Sonata District, one of the fastest growing & modern zones of the city. The architectural design was developed simultaneously with the visual identity of the pavilion in order to achieve a global concept, which transmits constant movement & modernity, projected in a versatile space with intense color and subtle polygonal applications.

The intention was to take that “office essence” out and transform it into a space that resembled a disused warehouse; an industrial pavilion that could be easily adapted to any art or designer.  “Iluminare” Exhibition – Ground floor , Image Courtesy © Diana Arnau  Entrance perspective, Image Courtesy © Diana Arnau The entry level has 47 square meters for display, equipped with 6 removable screens that create different exhibition routes depending on their accommodation, allowing to expose large format pieces. The existing floor was used and the walls were lined with white painted bricks, as well as the windows were covered with a designed decal to block the view towards the offices. Both the front desk and the central lamp were designed to be in tune with the identity of the Pavilion, based on irregular polygons that generate different shapes depending on the angle at which you see them.

On the way out, an anamorphic sign that reads “PANDEA” concludes the exhibition tour.

Here, to avoid the view of the existing offices behind the crystal walls, translucent vinyls were applied in order to generate a completely different and private environment. PANDEA is a mutable space.
