Article source: Elmo Vermijs On June 15th 2012, during the opening of Oerol Festival on the island Terschelling in the north part of the Netherlands, The Pavilion was officially opened. A Pavilion by Studio Elmo Vermijs and Arie van Ziel developed from waste materials and knowledge on the island of Terschelling. A platform for debates, discussions, lectures, presentations and musical interludes. In short, a place where “the word” can be conducted.  Image Courtesy © Gemma of Linden

In January 2012 was first started making the harvest-knowledge map of Terschelling.

Linked to this, they were asked for their knowledge that the islanders possess, in this think of the facilities, equipment and knowledge networks, but also knowledge about crafts and education. Ultimately 43 parties were interviewed and included in an interactive map (designed by Casper Glorius) to make this visible.  Image Courtesy © Gemma of Linden This map was the starting point and inspiration for the design of a mobile pavilion which deployed on Terschelling and symbolizes this social way of working, based on local potential and from there developing projects and make connections. In realizing the pavilion were ultimately about 20 parties involved. Every piece of The Pavilion has its own story. On the back of The Pavilion there is a big canvas on which you can see where on the island are the different parts and knowlegde of The Pavilion from.

It shows the potential of an island like Terschelling. The next destination of The Pavilion on the neighboring island of Vlieland: the festival “Into the Great Wide Open” starts on Friday 7th of September.

These arise from a social context in and the fascination for locations, spaces, (waste)materials, craftsmanship and constructions. The objects bring people together by asking them to act, participate or organize an activity. The projects are developed and built from the potential that is present in an area.
