Australian Pavilion in Shanghai, China by Wood Marsh ArchitectureSunday, June 19th, 2011Article source: Wood Marsh Architecture
The Australian pavilion has been designed to read in its surrounds as a bold sculptural form, both modern and organic. Set in a stark abstract landscape of the World Expo Site, the sensuous ribbon of the facade generates an undulating form which is designed to have no obvious front, rear or sides. The prominent entry is articulated by a large glazed tear and illuminated signage. The form varies dramatically as one moves through the surrounding streets.

Woods of Net in Ninotaira, Japan by Tezuka Architects + TIS & PARTNERSFriday, June 17th, 2011Article source: Tezuka Architects + TIS & PARTNERS
This is a permanent pavilion for a net artist, Toshiko Horiuchi Macadam. The artist knitted the net entirely by hands, which is designed for children to crow in, roll around, and jump on the net. It was easy for us to see the artwork being outside even when it cannot be exposed to rain or ultraviolet light. We wanted to design a space as soft as the forest where the boundary between outside and inside disappears. The space attracts people like campfire. The children play inside of the net just as fire and parents sit around and lay on the woods.  Night View (Images Courtesy Katsuhisa Kida/FOTOTECA)

Guggenheim Contemporary Art Pavilions in Saadiyat Island by Asymptote ArchitectureFriday, May 27th, 2011Article source: Asymptote Architecture Throughout history, art has always served as a powerful and resonating vehicle of cultural expression and a reflection on a society’s status and enlightened position in the world. These pavilions are at once looking into the past, the present and the future, seemingly engaged in a profound and silent dialogue. They are designed to embody timelessness and to allow for varied subjective interpretations and the superimposition of different meanings as time and local culture moves forward. Through their abstract and formal language they are conceived as tectonic gestures, privileging at once elegance, perfection and beauty, all drawn from the unique and profound landscapes, histories and futures that define this remarkable part of the world.
