A pavilion for the XXIII UIA World Congress of Architecture TORINO 2008
The organizers of the Congress called for an ideas competition whose result would be the design of a pavilion to represent the Congress and to be placed on a corner of the Piazza Castello.
‘This ideas competition, in a single stage, is organised in the framework of the UIA Congress Turin 2008, illustrating the theme: transmitting architecture.
The aim is to create a UIA information point in the city of Turin, a place, dedicated to urban democracy where people can meet, relax.
To be designed as a public house for architecture, info point will be usable both day and night, when open and closed. Of a maximum surface of 100 M2, it will be built of recyclable eco-friendly materials and be equipped with communication technologies’.
