Area of the Pavilion: 100 sqm
Together with Domenico Cannistraci Architect we have partecipated to Acca Competition, an international call for designing the Informations Pavilion during the next Olympic Games at Trafalgar Square in London.
Following some informations about the project:
The Olympic Games Information Pavilion embraces both the visitors with the Londoners during the Games.
The OGIP creates a public space into the public square, this by overlaying a monumental square.
The OGIPlands on the hearth of London and uses the natural pavement of the Square as its indoor floor.The functions are lined up in a transparent horizontal sequence describing an intimate courtyard.
This see-through basement spaced out by shining gold silver and brass wired curtains is sorrounded by the vertical vibration of the roof which hosts all the suspended equipments togheter with the b-side screen visible from the court as well as from the Trafalgar Square stairs.
The roof reproduces indeed the Mews scenario, inviting the visitors to discover the Olympic Games in a space in between local tradition and contemporary architecture.
Welcome to the Olympic Games.
