On October 16, 2023, the Government of Mexico City published an open call to submit conceptual proposals. These proposals were required to meet certain criteria, including the imperative not to intervene in the Zócalo square, emphasize pedestrian pathways, and incorporate cycling routes.

Our decision was to prioritize pedestrian and cyclist circuits, reducing the space allocated to vehicles. The proposal was crafted with Universal Design principles, ensuring that every individual can feel secure while navigating the area. Drawing inspiration from the Zócalo’s origins, we suggested incorporating planters with greenery to enhance the overall aesthetics. To delineate the usage of each zone in our urban design, we utilized various types of flooring. Additionally, we designed a variety of urban furniture, such as planters, seating arrangements, bollards, and pergolas.
