Reflecting the configuration of a city, every path in between rooms leads to the central square, the “Agora”. This central space is where concerts, conferences and events will take place in April 2016.

At the center, the Agora itself represents the heart and soul of the pavilion; the place where all visitors come across and main performances take place.

The paths’ concrete flooring contrasts with the wooden chips panels used for the rooms. The same material has been used for the furniture –benches and flowerpots–, installed in the Agora.

In contrast, the colorful plants and visitors bring vitality and dynamism to the pavilion.
