PROJECT OVERVIEW
Discover what makes it unique
Energy, which is neither created nor destroyed but only transformed, inspires the design of the National Museum of Energy and Technology (MUNET), taking as its reference the use that nature makes of it to preserve life, making it better and more comfortable.
In Chapultepec Forest, the snake, an ancestral symbol of continuity, guides the proposal: a body that slithers through the vegetation, integrates existing buildings, and breathes through its scaly skin. At the same time, origami adds a playful sense of transformation without creation or destruction, evoking the continuous cycle of energy that adapts and renews itself in the environment.
