INSTANT-NATURE, in the Plaza de la Solidaridad in Mexico City, is a deployable environment designed for the 2020 Festival of Architecture and City. Operating as an artificial ecology, the pavilion is a public gathering space dedicated to the relationship between architecture and the environment. The project’s inventory of notated furniture produces an overlay of information and living material, creating a garden of mobile greenhouses that can be deployed throughout the city. On site, the pavilion’s light steel frame structure sits within a garden of imported plants, each labeled with a point of origin and import-export histories. The displays detail the transnational origins of these living commodities, making visible the geopolitical lineages of each specimen and countering traditional narratives of nature as a fixed and ideal. The project creates an instant garden for the city, outlining the systems of production and distribution that shape our everyday ecological imaginaries.
