The Building Design of Pedregal Shopping Center in Mexico City

This commercial building project sited in neglected Pedregal area of Mexico City. The Pedregal Shopping Centre features two commercial levels and a roof garden and two underground parking levels. The project design by Pascal Arquitectos includes some sustainable design features with an automation and control system that contemplates passive and active energy saving resources: lighting and extraction control, opening and closing façade rolling doors, air conditioning, security and control access, prevention signage, CCTV.

The Pedregal Shopping Centre was built in 7,000.00 m2 area where the surroundings are big houses in big areas surrounded by very high stone walls. So, the façade was designed to allow the view of the interior event from the outside, and at the same time allowing the view of the exterior event from the inside. This can be reached with the main facade that consists of two elements: one of them linen with a zinc plate with large irregular perforations to which a different shades of yellow and translucent laminated glass section is inlay. This shopping centre is intended to be a new generator of the Pedregal area.
