The main elements that de ned the morphology of the pavilion were the existing vegetation and the idea of having open spaces, with the intention that bridges and ramps conected the di erent spaces. The bridges also were used to conect the levels aronud the lake with the roofs of the pavilion.

The pavilion were de ned for 3 circles of enough size to reach the di erent uses , each o of the three circles are di erent inside and outside.

ETHOBOTANICAL GARDEN AND PAVILION

The “Chimallí” Ethnobotanical Garden were designed for an architectonic contest organized for Mexico city, is a project that invites you to know and learn more about the ethnobotanical culture of the place, together with an intervention in Zone II of the Chapultepec Forest, to achieve greater pedestrian communication. We achieve this through di erent elements, a pavilion that invites you to know more about the region and its origins and allows you to look from another perspective with its terraces, a part of the research that will contribute to scienti c development, the zoning of di erent species of native plants of the place scattered throughout the area as part of the ethnobotanical program and nally, pedestrian paths that intend to make it easier to move to other areas.
