The aim was to design a dynamic and modern façade that would provide a new image for the largest luxury retailer in Mexico.
The project’s challenge was to find a simple and effective construction system to accelerate the production, assembly, and installation of the façade and, at the same time, lead to a complex and interesting proposal.
Texcoco Lake Ecological Park has been selected as one of twenty projects to be presented to the Zumtobel Group Award 2012 Jury in the category Research & Initiative.
