BA.SALT
In this particular pavilion, we propose certain dialectics that articulate the project, such as the one established between personal expression versus functionality or between known materials versus new materials.
In the projects we do, we are aware of the zeitgeist that makes them possible. We believe that by knowing this condition we can see more clearly which parts or elements of the project have greater doses of sensitivity to time.
In the pavilions, in general, we can see a certain audacity arising from the lack of permanence, the will to explore and experience that arises from the apparent lesser responsibility that is expected from a temporary construction, an event with a definite time. However, we must ask ourselves if this has t... More

Mozfest 2016
Since 2010, Mozilla has promoted Mozfest, one of the most interesting events in the internet world. For the 2016 edition, lamatilde worked with TODO, automato.farm and Leva, to raise awareness on five themes (privacy, web literacy, digital inclusion, open innovation and decentralization), designing five installations with a mix of physical and digital interaction. Our challenge was finding a coherent code for all five structures, and coming up with the solutions to make them both inclusive and outstanding in the busy festival environment.
Our core concept was to create five “naked” frames devoid of barriers, five different micro-architectures that would be assembled according to a common system. Dynamic installations were designed to be use... More

No Sunrise No Sunset Pavilion
‘Yai Sa is the symbol of love and awaiting. She has been waiting for someone she loves who has been leaving her to search for the ultimate truth and promise her, he will return to her when he finds it. Everyday, she stands at this same point waiting for him. What is the ultimate truth? And where is it? Is it extrinsic? Or is it already has in our mind? Which is love, mercy, change, death, emptiness, or oneness. ‘No Sunrise No Sunset’ because “The sun stays in the same place, but the world itself is spinning around”.We see the worldas the way we want so the world is like the way we are. Since we see the world as the way it is, we will see beauty and virtue of its nature.
This project is a life-specific... More

Animals are the sole protagonists at the new Cetaceans Pavilion... More

NAWA
This architectural, public sculpture consists of 35 bionic steel arches referring in form to the shape of the island and most of all to construction of nearby historic architecture of Ostrów Tumski originally established in XI century. The arches together create an ultralight, durable construction, its mirror-polished surface reflects the surroundings and gives the effect of a naturally growing sculpture that changes throughout the day and seasons.NAWA is part of revitalization programme for Daliowa Island – the smallest of over a dozen islands in downtown Wrocław. Aim of the programme was to turn neglected and forgotten space into an area open to meetings, concerts and artistic events, thus a reclamation to city inhabitants. NAWA is the cr... More

Trillium Park and William G. Davis Trail
The first phase in a landmark revitalization along the Toronto waterfront is the creation of a public park where a derelict 7.5 acre inaccessible staff parking lot existed for forty years. The central objective was to celebrate the iconography and natural heritage of the larger site while creating a new benchmark park space for the city and framework for the future revitalization. Initiating the process with community public meetings and stakeholder design workshops, the LANDinc led the project team to execute a vision of re-imagining a natural Ontario landscape refuge within the ever-increasing urban landscape. The geologic and vegetative evolution of Ontario provided the initial design inspiration for the waterfront park. Glacially formed... More

sonoGROTTO
Tasked by Yerba Buena Center for the Arts and the San Francisco Planning Department to design new prototypes of spaces and activities on Market Street, to be displayed for three days during the Market Street Prototyping Festival, we created a space of respite on the busy sidewalk. sonoGROTTO is an experiment in using affordable, ubiquitous, and recyclable materials to create new, human-scaled spaces along the cavernous and over-scaled corridor of Market Street.It is composed of 235 cardboard tubes fastened together. The tubes were packed, trimmed to fit within a 10-foot cube, and carved to create seats, windows, and an oculus to view the sky above. The curved cuts on the linear tubes evoke stalactites and stalagmites, framing the sky while... More

TheLoveTriangle Gallery
Design collective TheLoveTriangle has designed and completed its off-grid pavilion in Baabdat, Lebanon. The pavilion aims to provide its members with a space for experimentation, exhibitions and art residencies.The designers aimed to create a peaceful space, a gesture that would not compete with the surrounding landscape and would provide a neutral canvas for the artists and exhibitors.therefore, the design of the pavilion was stripped down to a pure and primitive architectural form – a rectangle of 96 sqm (1033 sqft), discreetly nested in a clearing between the pine trees. The structure’s transparent glazing allows for a natural connection with the site.The pavilion sits in a location that was historically used for agricultural p... More

SPIEF exhibition stand
Our new project is a stand for the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum.As part of the project of the exhibition space of the Yaroslavl region, two concepts were proposed:1. Composition using a design of flexible LED RGB-tubes (LED DMX neon), allowing you to change the color or generate an image.2. The concept of "Air, land, water", where the dynamic bands are exhibition pedestals for objects. They symbolize the rapid growth of the Yaroslavl region industry.Also in the exhibition space proposed the use of holographic projection technology with the use of a projector-fan and AR-portal technology, which allows you to visit various cities in the region.More info: http://vimania.ru/w/стенд-для-пмэф-spief/Authors: Simon Rastorguev, Alexey...

Tianyi Pavilion
The Pavilion is located at Tianyi Square, Ningbo.The Pavilion covers an area of 178 square meters. The building presents an irregular geometrical form as a whole. The intention of facing the main entrance towards the entrance of the Tianyi Square is to enrich the city interface of the Square while keeping the commercial atmosphere intact.The roof ridge of the building conforms the direction from the entrance to the central axis of the Square. Considering the temporary nature of the Pavilion and its costs, the form of folding surfaces is adopted instead of using curved roof, and the turning of the roof shows dynamic changes according to different functions. A semi-outdoor sheltered space is formed with a suspended lightweight structure to at... More

THE PAUSE
Our response to the challenging architectural installation competition near one of the most important historic gardens “Afif Abad Garden” in Shiraz, Iran was PAUSE.PAUSE is the childish adventure feeling and inspiration that we have not experienced since so many years ago. PAUSE tries to revive the feelings that we have been ignored. Feeling of brick texture tactile; hearing the sound of our steps on the metal sheets, looking at the sky which we pass under of it every single day without any attention to it, not even trying to pause and enjoy watching it. Listening to the “water features located at the site”.PAUSE from the exterior is a cube that holds a suspended brick volume and this is adequate enough to incite the adventure and curiosity... More

CD PAVILION ( A Few Drops Pavilion )
“A few drops” is an urban pavilion, focused on environmental issues. Our approach is a critical expression against the industrial pollutions produced by humankind. We called people on social networks, to bring their wasted CDs for us. Thereby the intention was to raise public awareness about the issue and also supplying the main materials of our project with no budget. The pavilion construction is all done by people corporation. The pavilion structure was built with scaffolds which is 4m X 4m X 4m. The CDs were woven in fishing threads and they were hung to the net on the roof. The CDs are the metaphorical expression of raindrops to incite the human senses. More

Ephemeral Pavilion
The installation is based on the kinetic art of the Venezuelan artist Jesus Rafael Soto. An interesting feature in the work of Jesus Soto is the innovation that his art gains through the playful and interactive contribution. In all of his works, the viewer is an ally of his artistic game, thus forming an integrative relationship between the humane and the sublime.The Ephemeral Pavilion was inspired by this plastic artist who takes viewers by the hand through a playful journey, where entertainment and emotions are intertwined with the installation. Our proposal is to experiment with the senses, to be part of the dynamics and adapt to the rhythm of people's lives. The appropriation of the installation by the people will have as a consequence...
