Tecamachalco Competition | Pascal Arquitectos

This is a private competition by invitation, in which we had ten days to submit the proposal. Somehow because these short times are not the usual for this size of a project; we think it helps the convener to measure the speed of response of those invited.

In these cases developers call the architects to compete and see who has better potential. The first requirement is to accommodate the most sellable area allowed by legislation.

Architecture and its shape are not the will of the architects, but the translation of a prediction of what the judges understand as the aspiration of the market.

This project itself consists of two towers, each with two elevator cores that come from the necessity to provide the best surroundings and making the most of these view of the canyon. These towers have the chance to be subdivided into four if necessary for logistics and finance.

The facades are rotated to avoid west, we thought that recreational services would work better in the roof, besides there would be no need to have a separate specific building them.
