Molecular Display

Wednesday, April 1st, 2009

The proposed structure is a semi-permanent summer pavilion for exhibitions and events. The pavilion is not an enclosure inhabiting a gallery space. Instead it enables its site itself to become a place for display. Its movable parts allow diverse spatial configurations to happen all over the site and create an open environment instead of a fixed set-up.
