Idea
The Pavilion can be dismantled and reinstalled anywhere in the world and completely recycled at the end of its lifespan.
From the second storey, views of the Mediterranean are amplified when the petal façade opens to reveal a platform. With its exterior covered entirely in recyclable aluminium scales, inspired by theatrical curtains, the building takes on distinct identities from day to night. During the day, partial views inside create intrigue while providing privacy to the sleek interior. At night, light and activity are emitted through its porosity.
The Pavilion houses a variety of wings for meetings and events. Each space is finished with a palette of neutral materials, selected for their robustness and contribution to better acoustics, for a quiet background for BBC content that is displayed throughout on LED screens. The design ethos creates a language of vivid detail, whether structural junctions to wall panel joints with shadow gaps.
