EXCHANGE Pavilion
@ Balboa Park, San Diego, California
Collaboration with @heleo.co Architecture & Design
for the @wdcsandiegotijuana2024
“A place for the exchange of human experiences
Beginning from a no-man’s-land, surrounded by socio-political constructs that conduce lifelines through funneled streams of constant trade and continuous cultural mutation, The EXCHANGE pavilion creates its particular spatial metaphor by opening up the walls and allowing free transit of anyone who coexists in this new place.
A place that intends to shelter a multiple array of collective experiences. Built to be seen from the inside out and vice versa, to transmit and receive data throughout every encounter, to be used as a source of inspiration and to capture the essence of the crossroads it creates.”
