thirty years on from the publication of delirious new york, rem koolhaas’s manifesto celebrating congestion culture, at the peak of the high building craze in most of the world, and moving on from post 9-11 panic, arquine announces its 10th international competition, proposing the design of two skyscrapers, with 100 floors each, to celebrate the bicentenary of mexico’s independence in 2010.
the project consists in setting each tower in two strategic areas of mexico city: the azcapotzalco technology park and the xochimilco ecology park, establishing a dialectic between content and void; between built object and urban landscape.
the competition invites you to embark on the projects with two relevant discourses in mind: ecology and technology, true paradigms of early 21st-century culture.
the towers should favour mixed uses [permanent or temporary housing, offices, workshops, businesses, etc.] and blur the limits between the public and private domains.
program
each of the bicentennial towers should develop on a maximum built surface of 150,000 m2 [excluding underground levels], and include the following program:
housing, min. 20%
offices, min. 30%
businesses, min. 10%
hotel, min. 20%
auditorium, min. 5%
terraces, min. 5%
parking, min. 20%
in the technology tower the use of new technologies and building materials should be favoured, focused on reducing energy consumption and producing energy from renewable sources.
in the ecological tower the use of sustainable design and biocompatible materials should be favoured.
