Description
The New Pavilions offers a global exploration of innovative small-scale structures that serve as display, entertainment, contemplation, or pure folly. These temporary buildings provide emerging architects with an opportunity to make their mark and experiment with form, construction, material, structure, surface, and texture.
Pavilions can be found in various forms and functions, from tents and bandstands to places for sitting, listening, seeing, and being seen. They often offer unique opportunities for interaction with the surrounding landscape, streetscape, and people, providing oases of calm or temples to digital interaction. This book features over eighty projects chosen by Philip Jodidio, showcasing the extreme possibilities of built form.
From cutting-edge designs like Sou Fujimoto's pavilions to structures created from unconventional materials, each project in The New Pavilions provides a lesson in the potential of small-scale architecture and demonstrates that many of the biggest ideas in design start with simplicity.
