Pilares Lomas de Becerra Community Center / WORKac + IUA Ignacio Urquiza Arquitectos

For the design of two PILARES Centers in Mexico City, WORKac partnered with the Mexican architecture firm Ignacio Urquiza Arquitectos. Located in the Lomas de Becerra and Azcapotzalco neighborhoods, PILARES (which stands for Puntos de Innovación, Libertad, Arte, Educación y Saberes or Innovation, Freedom, Art, Education, and Knowledge Hubs) is a project spearheaded by Mexico City’s government in order to establish spaces for education and culture that contribute to education, skill development, gathering, and exchange among the city’s inhabitants. The PILARES structures are a series of strategically-located public buildings across Mexico City, situated in areas experiencing high levels of vulnerability and poverty.

New Space Reconstruction of East Gallery / Muhhe Studio

On a rainy afternoon in July 2021, I went to see the location of the gallery’s new space accompanied by Mr.Liu of East Gallery and the artist Bian Shaozhi. At the end of the 1980s, it was designed by Zhang Lei Associated Architects and transformed into an industrial park in 2020. We were all amazed by the tall and wide space scale of the new space. Mr. Liu said that artists in Nanjing need to paint some large paintings. Shaozhi feels that when painting large paintings, he also needs a tall space, the feeling of painting in a tall space is completely different from the feeling of painting in a low space. So we decided to keep the high and large scale of the original space as much as possible to provide artists with a better degree of freedom in presenting their works, although this will lose a lot of usable areas.
