Torre BBVA
Bancomer
Mexico City
A new urban landmark on the skyline of Mexico

City, the tower marks the gateway to the
Paseo de la Reforma from Chapultepec Park.
The BBVA Bancomer tower is the result of a
collaboration between architectural practices
Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners and Legorreta
+ Legorreta. In bringing together their different
architectural languages yet common values,
they have created a building that is both
contextual and distinctive.
Mexico City is built on an ancient dried lake and

is prone to severe earthquakes so an innovative
engineering approach was needed to reduce
the risk of tremors. A ‘fuse’ was incorporated
into each of the externally expressed structural
beams. Its design focuses the impact of an
earthquake by absorbing the shock to protect
the rest of the structure. This structural
solution makes the tower uniquely safe for a
building of its height.
To combat solar gain from Mexico’s strong

sunlight, a lattice façade system, (which evokes
traditional screens or ‘celosias’) shades the
exterior of the building allowing daylight in, and
views out.
The building is based on the reinterpretation of

traditional office space organisation, offering a
variety of new flexible working environments for
all users. Sky gardens every nine floors create
outdoor space within the tower and provide
meeting and break-out areas where people can
enjoy spectacular views. Consequently, the
architecture promotes a sense of community
and interaction between staff.
The 50 storey tower provides approximately

78,800m² of prime office space for
BBVA Bancomer and can accommodate
approximately 4,500 employees.

This building is the most

sophisticated, highest-quality
building in Mexico. It’s a signature
building for the bank, for the
expansion of their business in
North American markets.

8 Chifley
Sydney
8 Chifley is a premium grade office building in

Sydney, Australia. The scheme – developed
in conjunction with Lippmann Partnership
– comprises of a 30-storey office building
situated in the Central Business District
(CBD) of Sydney. The overall concept was
for a development that provides functional

individual workspace environments which allow
privacy and interaction between individuals.
This hollowing out of floor space within the
tower allows the redistribution of space higher
up the building where better views can be
enjoyed. The villages are interspersed with
full floor office levels which allow for multiple
villages to be connected.
The building has been designed specifically

for its prominent, north-facing site. The
design creates an environment in tune with
demands of the contemporary office lifestyle,
where technology is the driver, and the
distinction between the office and home is
blurred or overlapping. The latest technology
and materials have been used to help modify
the internal environment. This includes
louvred sunscreens on the northeast and
west façades; a series of mid- and roof-level,
landscaped podiums which incorporate break-
out areas for occupiers; external solar shading
incorporating tint-free glass which creates
a truly transparent building both internally
and externally; and an internal environment
modified by a displacement floor system,
chilled beams and an exposed concrete soffit.
A five-storey open space at street level creates

a grand entrance to the building as well as
creating a new, significant area of public space
which complements the existing, adjoining
space of the Chifley Square precinct.
Central to the building’s sense of connectivity

and community is the elevated ‘village square’
on the 18th floor set within a three-storey
void. This area provides a focal point for all
occupants of the building, comprising an entire
floor of multi-functional, landscaped space.
The building’s carbon emissions are at least

50 per cent less than those of a ‘typical’
Sydney CBD office. It also achieves a high
degree of sustainability through effective
water reduction, reduced emissions of CFCs
and the use of sustainably-sourced materials.
A balanced approach to these areas resulted
in a 6-Star ‘Greenstar’ rating, the highest
benchmark achievable in Australia.

evolution of modern
workplace design by creating

communities of a type not

(The Pompidou) ... revolutionized museums,

transforming what had once been elite
monuments into popular places of social
and cultural exchange …
Pritzker Prize Jury

Centre Pompidou
Paris
In 1971 Richard Rogers and Renzo Piano, in

collaboration with Ove Arup & Partners, won an
international competition (for which there were
681 entries) for an ‘information, entertainment
and cultural centre’. The building was designed
and built in six years, the main steel structure
being erected in six months. Today, the building
– with a floorspace of 100,000m² – houses
a museum of modern art, reference library,
industrial design centre, temporary exhibition
space, children’s library and art centre,
audio-musical research centre (IRCAM)
and restaurants.
The site is located in the centre of Paris, within

one kilometre of Notre Dame Cathedral and the
Louvre Museum and on the edge of a densely
populated medieval market quarter centred
on Les Halles, now demolished. To the east,
the Marais was run-down and dangerous. The
Centre Pompidou was planned as a way of
linking these neighbouring areas as well as a
catalyst for the regeneration of the Marais itself.
There was little open space in this area of the
city, so the importance of creating public space
was key to the project. Half of the site – which
was being used for car parking – was dedicated
to a vast piazza, the Place Beaubourg, which
has since become the most intensively used
public space in Paris. Thus, the response
