A Pavilion for Peace
In recent times, with wars escalating worldwide,
this pavilion aims to draw attention to Peace.
Does this sound naive, simplistic, or even foolish?
We fear that some may perceive it that way.
In this sense, this Pavilion aims to provoke through a theme that should not inherently be provocative. Indeed, we should never shy away from advocating for Peace. The Pavilion stands as a sanctuary for encounter and dialogue, fostering connections and understanding.
This idea is inspired by the project brief: Earthwork.
Earth symbolizes life, yet it is often contested in conflicts since the dawn of humanity.
In contrast with this, the earth itself is designed to become the catalyst for new connections: the ground is reworked to shape natural seating arrangements that encircle a central stage.
The Pavilion itself is conceived as a protective shelter for this shared grounds. Its vibrant polycarbonate roof stands as a symbolic celebration of the enduring pursuit of Peace.
