Cancun Column

The 25-meter-tall Cancun Column redefines the city's urban landmarks with its innovative, scale-inspired design. This cylindrical structure integrates various water features and dynamic lighting. By day, it offers a refreshing respite; by night, a captivating light show. Its 30-meter interactive base completes the experience, creating a multisensory space. The Column embodies the spirit of Cancun and its connection to water, merging art, technology, and public space for locals and tourists alike, serving as a hub for community cohesion and urban renewal.

The design employs a modular system with a single prefabricated component for the exterior, structure, and stairs. It is assembled by stacking circular layers rotated 45 degrees and secured by tension rods. Dual internal helical staircases facilitate maintenance. Channels between the scales distribute water in a controlled manner. Interactive misters are located at the base and top. This innovation ensures efficient construction, simple maintenance, and an enriched experience, merging functionality and aesthetics into an icon that expands the boundaries of architecture.
