Architectural pavilion

A rustic charm envelops visitors as they alight from a ferry and enter Easdale, an island in Scotland that exudes a rugged grace amidst the pleasing sight of nature’s vivid beauty. Being home to seven slate quarries, a tragic night in 1881 brought along with it a massive flood that ruined the quarries. Gradually reviving its glory, the island’s survival story is evident in the crystal blue water pools and the plethora of flora, fauna, and birdlife known to frequent the region.  Caption Caption Ferries being the only ultimate journey that takes visitors from Ellenabeich to Easdale, Terraviva, a platform organizing international Architectural Design Competitions, offered a brief inviting architectural firms all aro...

ACT! with Rikke Winther, together with Ask Holmen and CLAYA won the first place of the international open call of the Færderbiennale 2024 (dance and architecture festival), and designed and built the architecture installation ‘Borrowed land’. ‘Borrowed land’ explores the relationship between the built environment, climate crisis, and environmental degradation. Central to the project is the recognition of the natural landscape as a finite resource as well as the issues created by extractivism. Using local materials, such as clay and stones deposited by ancient glaciers, the crafted architectural components are deeply rooted in the land, to which it can decay and merge back into after it has served its purpose....

Situated on the southern bank of the Li Village River in Qingdao, a coastal city in northeastern China, the community library is a compact complex designed with simple geometric volumes. It houses various facilities, including a reading room, reception hall, observation tower, and public restrooms, while also featuring a circulation system that links different levels of the park.

The Castello Banfi Pavilion offers a complete sensory immersion into a fertile microcosm that embodies Banfi’s philosophy. This space is not merely a celebration of wine but a multifaceted narrative that intertwines a centuries-old love for the land with a continual search for balance between innovation and tradition.

Ezio Manciucca Entering the Banfi Pavilion means stepping into an evocative, deeply experiential and emotional dimension, capable of engaging the senses in a collective ritual... More

The idea for the original form of the house prompted the shape of a boomerang. The house was built in Strzykuły near Warsaw. Caption Caption Caption Caption Caption On the axis of the elongated first floor, the first floor was set diagonally. Its deviation from the line of the first floor was emphasized by an arched wall. The dynamic form of the house obtained in this way ensured its good positioning with respect to the world sides and gave it the characteristics of uniqueness.

Bruges Triennial 2024: Curated by Shendy Gardin and Sevi Tsempala.  Once the epicentre of trade and a site for all kinds of gatherings, the medieval courtyard is nowadays more a passageway or waiting area for its many visitors.

 The “People Pavilion” begins by approaching the concept of “Livable Scape”, simulating the opportunities by repurposing the Garden space of Bangkok City Hall during non-operational hours. This is achieved by creating a “public” space in the form of a pavilion that serves as a meeting place where people can meet, gather, encounter, have conversations, discuss, and support different activities for people in various roles.  Atelier247  The initiative idea aims to break down the bold boundaries between the city contexts and the enclosed green space within the buildings. To dissolve this clear-cut line by creating the temporal public spaces that support community activities in the surroun... More

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...

This stunning pavilion was the perfect solution to a previously disjointed outdoor living space. The owners had two existing large outdoor patios and an outdoor kitchen, which were exposed to the elements and felt disconnected. The goal was to have a covered space, connecting the two patio areas, while providing respite from the sun, which would make the spaces much more comfortable and usable. Now, the pavilion provides large seating areas for dining, relaxing, and entertaining.  The pavilion is charming enough to have a private dining experience and large enough to entertain 20 for a party.
