• Mexico Pavilion

  Date: 2012.02.21 | Category: National Pavilions | Response: 1

  Mexico Pavilion

  The Mexico Pavilion features a Kite Forest combining colorful kites and green grass, representing the ideas of future urban life as advocated by Mexico. The site will mostly be an open area with an exterior grass slope that creates a large green public space, which embodies ecology, environment protection and peace.

  The pavilion will be a land of fantasy built with “kites.” The name for kite comes from a Nahuatl word “papalotl” which means “butterfly.” In Mexico, kites represent people’s aspirations toward a better life. Because the kite originated in China, this would be a common element that unites the Mexican and Chinese cultures, and represents the idea of flying and development. It’s also the symbol and witness of friendship between Mexico and China.

  Highlight 1: Kites in Five Colors – There will be more than 130 “kites” in five different colors in the Mexico Pavilion: red, yellow, purple, blue and green, each measuring 2.4 to 13 meters long. The “surface” of the kites is made from environment-friendly plastic and appears like brilliant lanterns at night. Besides their beautiful design, the kites will provide protection against the sun and the rain. Furthermore, kite gifts and DIY kits are also available in the Mexico Pavilion, and a square will be reserved for visitors to fly their kites.

  Highlight 2: Interactive Touch-screens – The poles of the “kites” will also perform different functions. When people ramble in the “Kite Forest,” cool vapors will be sprayed through holes on the poles. In addition, interactive touch-screens and speakers will be to play sounds of nature. Furthermore, visitors can get information from the screens to learn about Mexico.

  Highlight 3: A Journey through the History of Mexico – The pavilion will showcase the past, present and future of Mexico, which can also be interpreted as the history, culture and dream. In the “past” area, three large screens will display Mexico’s history and ancient civilization; the current situation of major Mexican cities will be introduced in the “present” area; the “future” area, namely the “kite forest area” on the green slope, will show Mexico’s main projects of sustainable development via the interactive touch-screens.

  Highlight 4: Authentic Mexican Cuisine and Mexican Handicrafts – In addition a restaurant covering an area of 400 square meters will be open in the pavilion. Visitors can enjoy authentic Mexican cuisine, including tacos, burritos, chili, tequila, among others. Apart from that, there will also be a store where traditional Mexican handicrafts can be found.
