This pavilion erected in the pond of a Mexico City park was built from stacks of earthen blocks, which were dismantled to be rebuilt as part of a community centre in a town hit by last year's deadly earthquake.
Local architecture studios Lanza Atelier and TO, and architect Alberto Ode?riz, who is also a sculptor, designed and built the pavilion on a pool in the city's Parque Lincoln for this year's Design Week Mexico.

The pavilion was intended as a small-scale version of a community centre the architects are building in Ocuilan ? a town nearly 100 kilometres south of the capital ? as part of reconstruction efforts following the earthquake that struck the region on 19 September 2017.
"Ocuilan is one of the places that the earthquake of the last year devastated the most," Ode?riz told Dezeen. The temporary structure comprised a walkway that led from a park pathway across the water to a long and slender, open-roofed enclosure. The pavilion was made from compressed stabilised-earth blocks ? a brick made from mixture of soil and cement, which is subjected to high pressure with a mechanical press.

The team is manufacturing these blocks as a low-cost construction method for the community centre in Ocuilan, and hauled a portion to the park for the temporary build. They are to be transported back when after pavilion was dismantled, following this year's edition of the annual design event ? which ran from 10 to 14 October 2018.
