Manage your registration to add.Step into a binational design village where San Diego and Tijuana architects, students, and nonprofit partners come together to showcase innovation, collaboration, and cultural storytelling through a series of mini-pavilions.
This tour will demonstrate how temporary structures can transcend borders, amplify underrepresented voices, and serve as platforms for community dialogue. Each pavilion highlights a unique theme, from sustainability and housing to identity and play.
Join us to gain insight into the collaborative design-build process, experience the diversity of perspectives represented in the pavilions, and engage directly with the architects, students, and partners who shaped the installations.
This tour will take place at WOO.
WOO is a local gallery and architecture activation space in Barrio Logan. It occupies a former architecture school that has been reimagined by a talented team into an engaged hub for art, architecture, and culture. The space offers a strong intersection of practice, education, and community, which aligns well with the intent of the Borderless Pavilions.
