Our Ephemeral proposal is situated in a strong and flexible city. It formally unfolds to emphasize the historical traces of the site and strengthen the Zócalo with a permeable volume containing a void in its center. The radicality of the form responds to the geometric clarity of the Zócalo and the programmatic needs of the Fair.
