Based on his declarations, the architect Pedro Ramírez Vázquez (b. 1919) appears to claim some kind of involvement in the development of the curatorial script for the Mexican Pavilion, a text that was authored exclusively by Fernando Gamboa. However, it is true that in 1956, Gamboa discussed the design of the building with both Ramírez Vázquez and his architectural partner and colleague, Rafael Mijares (b. 1924). In this interview, [Ramírez Vázquez] states that through the pavilion project, he also attempted "to show Mexico’s progress in Constructivism," instead of aiming for constructional "boldness." Given the budget allocated, such boldness could have only been on a "small scale." In fact, Mexico was unable to compete with the complex plans of the first-world countries (such as France, whose pavilion was designed by Le Corbusier). Thus, Ramírez Vázquez preferred to appeal to the Constructivist trend tested at Ciudad Universitaria, (UNAM campus) in spite of this trend’s origin in the period between the World Wars, which meant that it was already passé by that time in Europe.
