“This sort of urban device transcends the concept of a pavilion related to a specific cultural event becoming part of life in the city of Basel”

It is a pioneering project in the architectural exploration of climate-friendly circular construction whose structure is made entirely of reused components from the demolition of previous works. Each of the units is built out of different components through specific constructive solutions based in a catalogue of pre-existing materials including cardboard, wood, metal and other components.
The pavilion is composed of porticoed modules, combined into 5 different units extending over fifty linear meters. Each unit has its own constructive system and material character with a mix of components and internal solutions, combined with formal clarity and homogeneity under the shape of a vernacular pitched roof.
