在发现濒危和特有的Guaiacum coulteri物种的萌芽后，Fundación Casa Wabi创建了一个苗圃，用于照顾和繁殖Guayacan树。瓜亚康树苗圃在进入Casa Wabi地区后，在入口处旁边就可以找到。它是这个建筑群中的第一个亭子，也是第四个介入的亭子。然而，由于它处于半地下的状态，并且被植被所包围，它可能会被忽视。

After finding sprouts of the endangered and endemic Guaiacum coulteri species, Fundación Casa Wabi created a nursery for the care and reproduction of Guayacan tree. The Guayacan Nursery is found upon entering the area of Casa Wabi area, next to the entrance. It is the first pavilion by location and the fourth intervention within this complex. However, due to its condition of being half underground, and surrounded by vegetation, it may appear unnoticed.

在晚上触摸一棵树。它告诉你什么？

现在把你的耳朵放在树干上。你听到了什么？

在早晨，在雨季，在接下来的几个月，在干旱的季节再做一次。有什么不同？

难道不明显吗，一切都在变化？

我们都应该在热与冷之间、水与渴之间、存在与空虚之间、生命与死亡之间过渡？

Touch a tree at night. What does it tell you?

Now place your ear upon the trunk. What do you hear?

Do it again in the morning, during the rainy season, in the following months, and during the season of drought. What is different?

Is it not obvious that everything is changing?

That we should all transition between heat and cold, between water and thirst, between presence and void, between life and death?

从这些开始和抵制中，瓜亚坎馆的和风建筑诞生了。该作品是对物质和空间本身的表达，由AMBROSI ETCHEGARAY办公室开发的建筑，构思了一个苗圃，在其跨越空间和时间的过渡中，受益于它的恶化或同化到景观、自然、万物的起源。用最少的材料，它在展示和培育 “Guaiacum Sanctum L. Zygophyllaceae”（俗称Guayacán）时找到了最大的表达方式，这是一种被列入SEMARNAT濒危物种名单的特有树种。

From these beginnings and resistances, the wabi-sabi architecture of Guayacán Pavilion was born. The work is an expression of materiality and space itself, where the architecture, developed by the office of AMBROSI ETCHEGARAY, conceived a nursery that in its transition across space and time benefits from its deterioration or its assimilation into the landscape, into nature, the origin of all things. With minimal use of materials, it finds its maximum expression in presenting and nurturing the “Guaiacum Sanctum L. Zygophyllaceae”, colloquially known as Guayacán, is an endemic tree included in the SEMARNAT list of endangered species.

为了保护该物种，Casa Wabi在环境管理部门（UMA）的支持下，决定创建一个照顾和繁殖Guayacán的苗圃。一个项目，从一开始，作者就明白建筑师只是大自然提供的表达方式的媒介，所以他们构思了一个新的苗圃，邀请用户和游客下到由此产生的地面下的路径，允许与树木有更密切的互动，以感知温度、大气的湿度、空气的流动，以及物种和地下水之间的关系。

With the purpose of protecting the species, Casa Wabi, with support from the Environmental Management Unit (UMA), decided to create a nursery for the care and reproduction of the Guayacán. A project that, from its inception, the authors understood the architect would only be a medium for the expressions that nature offered, so they conceived of a new nursery that invites the users and visitors to descend into the resulting paths beneath the ground level that allowed for a closer interaction to the trees in order to perceive the temperature, the humidity of the atmosphere, the flow of air, and the relationship between the species and the groundwater.

通过一种不完美的美和紧缩中的优雅，展馆以一个大的树荫打开，作为入口的门槛，同时为工人和游客产生一个休息的地方，在那里，阳光、水和空气变得明显，邀请我们近距离观察瓜亚坎，在一个表达深度、情感、智慧和神秘主义的环境中认识或重新认识它。人们继续走过那些在一连串的工作台上接踵而来的幼苗，其形式是挖掘的遗迹。通过这种水平上的变化，在这里，职业道德寻求照顾环境以及尊重那些在那里工作的人，负责植物的人员大大减少了体力消耗，因为他们清洁和照顾工作台上的新树，避免弯腰在地上工作。瓜亚坎馆无疑是一件当代建筑作品，它致力于一种美学、周围环境、时间的流逝以及对我们土地的关爱。

Through an imperfect beauty and elegance in austerity, the pavilion opens with a large shade that functions as the entrance threshold while simultaneously generating a resting place for the workers and visitors where the sun, water, and air become apparent and invite us to observe the Guayacán close up, to acquaint or reacquaint ourselves with it in a setting that expresses the depth, emotion, intelligence, and mysticism. One continues to walk through the seedlings that ensue upon a sequence of work tables whose form are the remains of the excavation. Through this change in level, where the ethic seeks to care for the environment as well as to respect those who work there, the personnel in charge of the plants significantly reduce physical exertion as they clean and care for the new trees on the work tables and avoid bending over to work on the ground. Guayacán Pavilion is undoubtedly a work of contemporary architecture that is committed to an aesthetic, the surroundings, the passage of time, and the care for our land.
