Through dynamic research into Museo Tamayo’s architectural legacy and curatorial ethos, this project evolved from a historical lens into a contemporary reimagining of the museum as a living, agentic system. Originally conceived as a modernist space for international dialogue, the museum is now interpreted as a modular platform for cultural negotiation and speculative futures. This shift foregrounds participatory design, digital interfaces, and generative identity systems—transforming Museo Tamayo from a static archive into a responsive, experimental ecosystem for contemporary art and design.
