The pavilion sits in an out of doors plaza in Chidlom, in a busy procuring district in Bangkok. Considering the convention’s theme of blurring boundaries between on-line and offline platforms, the idea of “boundlessness” was conceived. As a substitute of trying to compete with its bustling city context, the pavilion subtly attracts consideration to itself utilizing layers of translucent fiberglass mesh.
Usually used for industrial functions, this materials was adopted within the façade’s design to behave as bodily illustration of the convention’s core concept.
The fiberglass mesh, which hangs down freely from a ten-meter top, is organized in more and more shortened lengths as one delves into the inner house. Along with the mesh’s light-weight qualities, this ends in an ephemeral impact because the layers are continually shifting and by no means static. This method blurs the boundaries between the continually enclosed most important convention corridor house and its context.
At evening, lighting is used to intensify the house while fully altering the atmosphere, an necessary a part of the set up as this in flip defines and animates the actions inside.
The pavilion’s design stemmed from a short of making a light-weight construction that might be simply assembled and dissembled inside a short while body.
The inner house is split into three zones – the primary exhibition house, a convention corridor that may accommodate an viewers capability of 600, and its café. As a substitute of making a set house per perform, all three areas are expandable, relying on the required perform and capability at anyone time.
Because the pavilion was by no means designed to be everlasting, the designers seemed to how the fiberglass mesh may serve greater than a one-time use or purposefully reused, this time with an extended lifespan.
After being taken down, the two-kilometer-long span of mesh was repurposed to supply greater than 1,000 reusable tote baggage..
