TANAT's Cronoboros Pavilion at El Eco 2020 in Mexico City

The Cronoboros pavilion, a 530 m² architectural project by the firm TANAT, was realized in 2020 at the Museo El Eco in Mexico City. Curated by Valentina Díaz, the project was led by architect Diego Rivero Borrell, with a design team comprising Diego Rivero Borrell, Juan Pablo Rangel, Federico Aguayo, and Emilio Diaz. Photography was handled by Sergio Beltrán and Sergio López. The pavilion falls under the category of museums and exhibition spaces. The project draws on the Manifiesto de Arquitectura Emocional, published in 1953 by Mathias Goeritz, which proposed an architecture that exceeds logical and rational spatial understanding to articulate profound sensations. Goeritz conceived the El Eco museum as an experiment freed from classical standards and criteria such as symmetry, structural coherence, and the conventional habitation of space through a single determined function for each place. Reintroducing emotion into architecture, in this lineage, revives the possibility of conceiving it within a complex system of arts—sculpture, painting, dance, music, poetry, and architecture integrated as a unity.
