Article source: murmuro The Serralves Foundation promoted a contest for the Design of an Exhibition Pavilion to “invigorate the creation of new creative projects based on an innovative approach that stimulates new creative solutions”. As a premise, the competition was set to create an itinerant pavilion capable of displaying varied contents on any given location and configurating several dimensions. Therefore it was asked to design a structure that was supposed to be assembled, disassembled and stored several times.  Image Courtesy © murmuro

The pavilion thus does not have a single dimension. The spatial continuity is also reinforced by the sequence of visible surfaces where the coating material of the structure, a white screen, takes on the main role both seen in the interior and exterior giving a sense of lightness to the volume.

The purpose of the proposal is to provide an experimental way of communicating with the public in a less conventional format and an attempt to attract new audiences. We have proposed a pavilion that is built and grows around a curve, which allows the discovery of the inner space as one goes through it. The natural and artificial light, in turn, acquire a preponderant presence in the characterization of the space capable of conveying several curatorial proposals.
