Sofia Pavilion

Designed by architect Leonardo Zanatta, the project uses the site’s natural level changes to create a monochromatic structure inspired by Brazilian concrete and neoconcrete art. In Campo Belo, São Paulo, a 380-square-meter experimental pavilion designed by architect Leonardo Zanatta and developed by Nortis Inc uses the site’s natural level changes to create a visually striking project with minimal earthwork. “This gives the ensemble a certain controlled monumentality. It is a building that becomes smaller in relation to the tall residential towers around it, yet asserts a strong visual presence for those passing by the street or moving through the project’s gardens,” says Leonardo.

A Pavilion as an Inserted Landscape

This project proposes a pavilion that lightly intervenes in a site layered with time and natural context, suggesting a new mode of occupation through minimal structural and spatial elements. Rather than a heavy and solid building, it aims to create a flexible and lightweight space that encourages diverse user experiences. Caption Caption The site possesses a strong sense of place, defined by an existing historic stone building and mature trees that embody the passage of time. In response, the design adopts a strategy of “insertion” rather than domination, positioning the pavilion carefully within the existing context. Caption Caption Caption It is placed at a measured distance from the existing structu... More

HEM

HEM: A New Interpretation of Spatial Perception in the Post-Pandemic EraInspired by the blurring boundaries between inside–outside, private–public, and defined–undefined spaces in the post-pandemic world, HEM emerges as an innovative structure that reinterprets the idea of “in-betweenness” in architecture — both as a physical condition and a social experience. Exhibited at the Antalya Battery Factory, the project creates a fluid transition between states of passage, rest, social interaction, and shelter, turning the user into an active producer of space. Merve Yumuk Photography The Architecture of In-BetweenHEM is neither entirely a passage nor simply a seating unit; neither fully closed nor complet... More

Tales, a Landmark for East England

A silent vessel on water, cut from light and myth, inviting visitors to step beyond the everyday and enter the realm of possibility. Panos Nikolaidis Panos Nikolaidis Conceived as a contemporary fairytale, this landmark proposal seeks to offer East England more than a visual icon, it aspires to become a place of inner transformation. Rising from the water like a sculpted dream, the structure is both monumental and elusive, a shard of imagination rendered in pure form. Visitors do not merely observe it; they inhabit it. Through its shifting perspectives, veiled light, and mirrored reflections, it awakens a sense of wonder often forgotten in daily life. Panos Nikolaidis Rather than display technology, it dissolves it, allowin... More

sympathy

Pain and suffering are fundamental concepts in philosophy, art, psychology, religions, and so on, and they are an inseparable part of human identity, which some refer to as holy suffering. A person who endures pain steps out of their safe zone and experiences different conditions. These new conditions may become the basis for that person's change, effort, and growth. Ignored pain turns into long-term suffering. Are our pains and sufferings seen, heard, touched, or fundamentally understood?

Resonance

Nestled within the verdant expanse of the Archstoyanie Land Art Festival, the Resonance Pavilion by BQ Studio stood as a powerful statement on the potential of reclaimed materials and the impact of sustainable design. Conceived during a time when the construction industry generates waste equivalent to 226 Great Pyramids of Giza annually, this pavilion redefines how we approach architectural innovation. Caption Caption Constructed entirely from repurposed materials—scaffolding, insulation, and reclaimed pipes—Resonance challenges the conventional view of waste, transforming discarded elements into a striking architectural centerpiece. The skeletal frame of scaffolding, once temporary, now serves as a permanent symbol o... More

Free Air

Free Air is a public gathering machine designed by architect Daryan Knoblauch. The pavilion is devoted to the element that connects cosmic dust with the lungs that we carry within our body: Air. José Hevia José Hevia Designed as a performative infrastructure, Free Air contributes to Barcelona's environment through its reflective surface which harvests NO2 from the air. The installation focuses on the invisible qualities of air by helping us to see, contemplate, measure and understand a natural resource which, due to the amount of man-made pollution, is threatening the health condition of all citizens alike. Free Air, which due its photocatalytic coated texture, purifies and improves the condition of the air wherever... More

KAPKAR / H3H-YPB | Gate Bridge Pavilion | H3H Biennale

By using reused wood that can be reused again, the Gate Bridge Pavilion is 100% sustainable. René de Wit René de Wit René de Wit During the joint walk in the Benedictine sisters convent garden, it was said by the curators that a temporary passage was planned from the adjacent cobble stone lane through the concrete wall to make the exhibition in the garden of the Onze Lieve Vrouwe Abbey accessible for the H3H art Biennal visitors.  It is especially emphasised that this will be a very special moment, because the catholic cloister sisters that are an enclosed religious order have never allowed public access to their private garden before. Besides going through the wall the passage also crosses a deep d... More

London Rep- Tile / Infusion Pavilion

Rep- Tile / Infusion Pavilion Origami double sided textile has a reflecting effect from the outside as an installation pavilion and on the other hand an upside down close up reflection from the inside. The outside stands as an altogether chromic “Rep-Tile”! Inside-out users will be experiencing a twisting textile fabric with an unordinary sense of surface. The concave (from the inside) / convex (from the outside) tiles, visualize an exaggerated distortion of the surroundings and users in a playful way. This is a memorable state to interact with this mind blowing tiling phenomenon. From St John’s church to V&A museum of childhood there is a sweet moment of contextual twist! This critical attitude could be softened by... More

Bulgari Pavilion

The BVLGARI pavilion is a temporary installation commissioned by the luxury jewellery brand for Abu Dhabi Art 2012. The project was conceived as an exclusive and private venue and was required to be both representative of the firm’s style and its creative ideologies, whilst being emblematic of a “modern mythology”. NANA NANA NANA The design of the pavilion aimed to be both reminiscent of BVLGARI’s Italian heritage whilst being representative of its own fabrication and structure. A design based upon the packing of acrylic tubes was devised. Although they have a diverse range of uses they are rarely used as principal architectural elements. NANA NANA NANA By packing them close together n... More

Patternitecture

Mirror manifests honesty, transparency, and clarity in the Iranian culture. As one of the traditional architectural techniques, mirror fabrication has deep cultural roots and influenced by spiritual and religious beliefs. Caption Authentic artists consolidated small and large mirror pieces to creative decorative and geometric designs. The fragmented mirror pieces reflected the surrounding environment in a regular geometric composition revealing an abstract presentation of the environment composition. Caption With the presence of light, color, texture, and fluid reflections provides the visitor with a unique experience to depart from reality and picture himself in imagination. This departure depicts a transition into a world of w... More
