DSS2016 Specs in San Sebastian, Spain by Zuloark + Alberto rey + Tipi StudioDecember 13th, 2016 by Sumit Singhal
Article source: zuloark Design for 2017. Our proposal doesn’t start from architecture. Our proposal doesn’t start with the design of an ephemeral pavilion. Our proposal is not even a structure that can be reused.

We designed a process of transformation of the city and explored ways in which this challenge could become a pavilion. Our strategy is to intervene in San Sebastian’s public space by designing a pavilion that can be constructed as an assembled chrysalis containing the result of the future of the city.  Image Courtesy © Zuloark  Image Courtesy © Zuloark We propose a new line of street furniture for San Sebastian that can be distributed in the streets and squares from January 2017, but until then it will remain under the form of an assembled information pavilion. The pavilion is an assembly of 278 “bow tie” benches with a metal frame and wooden seats which can be combined in many ways. All seats face inwards and become a continuous wooden folding plane. The metal legs of the benches form the three dimensional structure and support for the waterproof tent fabric.

San Sebastian won’t be the same again. In 2017 all the particles of the pavilion will be transformed into urban furniture and compose a landscape of the scattered pavilion.

The strategy to design a pavilion made with benches is a response to an ecologic matter, not only in terms of reusing material and optimizing processes but also from the standpoint that architecture becomes more sustainable if more agents can be affected by it in any way. Our desire is that the pavilion makes it possible for many to transform their daily lives through it. Even if you as a San Sebastian citizen that hasn’t used the services provided by the pavilion nor has participated in any of the activities the cultural capital offers which are informed in the pavilion, its construction will be able to offer you service some day in the shape of furniture.
