Overview
The Concursos AG360: Floating Table competition challenges participants to design a floating gastronomic pavilion in Quintana Roo, Mexico. This project aims to create a new symbol for the lagoon, where architecture and the natural landscape are seamlessly merged. The design is intended to offer a holistic architectural experience, moving beyond the concept of a conventional restaurant. The 'FLOATING TABLE' project encompasses a comprehensive set of facilities. These include a main restaurant, a bar or lounge area, various dining terraces, and a fully equipped professional kitchen. Additionally, participants must design service areas, restrooms, and a pedestrian access pier. Participants are encouraged to propose any additional spaces they deem necessary to enrich the overall dining experience. A particular preference will be given to designs that incorporate viewpoints, terraces, observation platforms, and pathways. These elements should strengthen the connection between the visitor and the surrounding landscape, enhancing the immersive quality of the pavilion. The competition is open to any architect or architecture student, and submissions will be in Spanish. Prizes include a first-place award of US $8,000, exhibition and promotion on global architecture websites, and inclusion in a digital booklet of best proposals. Three honorable mentions will also receive exhibition, promotion, and inclusion in the digital booklet.
