Arquine announces its 10th International Competition, proposing the design
of two skyscrapers, with 100 floors each, to celebrate the bicentenary of
Mexico’s independence in 2010.
The project consists in setting each tower in two strategic areas of
Mexico City: the Azcapotzalco Technology Park and the Xochimilco Ecology
Park, establishing a dialectic between content and void; between built
object and urban landscape.
The competition invites you to embark on the projects with two relevant
discourses in mind: ecology and technology, true paradigms of early
21st-century culture.
The towers should favour mixed uses (permanent or temporary housing,
offices, workshops, businesses, etc.) and blur the limits between the
public and private domains.
