Biodiversity, Heritage and Technology
Inspired by Aldea Uh May’s unique context, Pininfarina’s concept celebrates the locale’s rich biodiversity, honours its Mayan heritage, and heralds the power of wellbeing throughout all aspects of living. Employing a holistic and human-centred approach, Pininfarina uniquely translates the ethos of Aldea Uh May into a timeless and thoughtful brand. Rooted in its sense of place, Pininfarina’s inventive sensibilities and keen attention to detail bring Aldea Uh May to life through a framework that will foster human connection, emotion, and meaningfulness for years to come.
Merging its mastery of design with the innovative use of technology, Pininfarina’s artistic direction for Aldea Uh May’s masterplan is styled around the patterns of organization found in nature, establishing a socially and environmentally conscious community where the experience of coexisting takes on a completely different meaning. Repositioning the development through this lens, Pininfarina’s reimagined design vernacular will exit through Aldea Uh May’s entire organic structure –– focusing on the restyled welcoming entrance experience, shared streets, landscape guidelines, as well as the amenities spaces, which will one day play host to arts and culture exhibitions poised to rival the world’s most premier festivals.
