Museo Tamayo presents this architectural intervention by Tatiana Bilbao with Design Week Mexico. The aim is to generate a dialogue between the building and the forest.
Bilbao designed a structure and built it out of wood, finding that this was the ideal material to meet all the challenges presented by the project: temporariness, lightness, budget constraints and limited construction time. The original window near the museum’s sculpture patio offered a view of the vegetation in the distance, but did not allow visitors to touch it or experience it directly. It was a static space for contemplation that prevented dialogue or proximity between the building and its surroundings.
With this intervention, Bilbao showcases the museum’s rear façade and sloped walls, which previously had made little impression on visitors. Accordingly, the window was opened up and the space was prolonged to offer a spatial experience of exploration.
