Bostik Announces Winner of Mexico Mural Competition
Bostik announced the winner of the Bostik Mexico Mural Competition/Pro Category. Ten of Mexico’s most well-known architectural designers were commissioned to come up with unique stone mural designs, one of which was to be selected as grand prize winner by a panel of industry-specific judges. The winning design ultimately would be cut and fabricated by Creative Edge Master Shop, the firm that first harnessed the capabilities of high-pressure waterjet technology to cut, fabricate and deliver unique architectural projects. Stone material, provided by NuWa Stone, consisted of marbles, granites, lava stones and basalts. The final 30’x30’ mural was installed in Monterrey, Mexico’s Fundidora Park as a ventilated façade on the wall of a defunct foundry.
Designed by competition winner, architect Tomas Guereña, the mural is an interpretation of the evolution/transformation of the former Steel and Foundry Company of Monterrey into Fundidora Park, a popular public venue and site of Latin America’s foremost Museum of Industrial Archeology.
