The Center is a sprawling 16,060-square-meter complex with a network of interconnected rooms for events and gatherings. CAZA’s goal was to create a sense of visual coherence and help visitors navigate the building more intuitively through a strategic system of design interventions.
Color was applied to guide visitors both vertically and horizontally—from parking garages to upper-level meeting halls—while also punctuating the entrances to individual conference rooms. CAZA also developed an iconic parametric logo of overlaid lines, which directs visitors throughout each floor and serves as a recurring motif in the furniture and human-scale elements throughout the Center.
Our approach is strategically driven and informed. Click here to learn about our process.
By integrating modular and parametric design principles, the MX Convention Center achieves clarity, cohesion, and a refreshed identity.
