Our pavilion ready for the opening tonight at 7pmF at @mextropoli architectural festival (Sept 21-25) in Mexico City!

The wood is recycled from La Montaña Rusa, an iconic roller coaster that captured the imagination of millions visiting La Feria, Mexico’s first amusement park. Like the other large scale urban projects built in Mexico City in the same decade, the rollercoaster captured an era of massive socio-economic transitions and accompanying civic infrastructural development. La Feria closed in 2019. Our pavilion, Dreams of Fiber/Timber, is the first structure constructed from the salvaged wood of la Montaña Rusa.

Sueños Fiber/Timber: @futureurbancollectives I Director: Rafi Segal.
Architect @rafisegal_au with artist @marisa_jahn and @nuaarquitectures
Pavilion design team: @segal_rafi (lead), @mariariusruiz, Patricia Dueñas Gerritsen.
Structure: @digitalstructuresmit, Edu Gascón, @p_a_l_z_i_n_c.

Dreams of Fiber/Timber, Earth/Concrete is a participatory, architectural installation that unfolds stories about Mexico City through four materials, their provenance, and their promise for the future. Through its critical adaptation of traditional papercraft, creative reuse of recycled wood from la Feria montaña rusa, and innovative use of earth and concrete, this site-responsive installation invites us to recognize the palimpsest of Mexico City’s histories and imagine new possibilities.

A participatory, architectural installation by @motaengil_mexico and @mit_lcau @mitsap @mitarchitecture featured in @mextropoli @_arquine, September 21 to 25.

Future Urban Collectives, led by Rafi Segal, is dedicated to an architecture for new forms of sharing and collaboration. As digital platforms and networks shift the production of space, trust, and value, Future Urban Collectives explores how architecture and urbanism can support and enhance cohabitation, coproduction, and coexistence across various scales of community. Combining digital platforms and physical design outcomes, Future Urban Collectives promotes an urban project, driven by a new kind of user and open to new programs and activities.
