Carme Pinós’ MPavilion 2018 Design Revealed
The Naomi Milgrom Foundation released design plans for MPavilion 2018 earlier this month. Designed by Barcelona-based architect Carme Pinos of Estudio Carme Pinos, the pavilion features an open civic space promoting interaction between design, people, nature, and the city of Melbourne.“Celebrating Carme’s design philosophy, which advocates building communities, inclusivity and universal connection, the pavilion will be a sensorial summer experience,” stated the press release.Carme’s origami-like sculptural design features floating planes resting at angles on elevated points within Queen Victoria Gardens, connecting the MPavilion to the city. “The design for MPavilion 2018 is an open geometric configuration assembled in two distinct halves supported by a central steel portal frame. Two surfaces of timber latticework intersect with each other to form the pavilion’s roof. An altered topography forms three mounds that incorporate seating, allowing a multitude of community-focused experiences: dynamic, spontaneous and collective,” the press release adds.Naomi Milgrom, founder of the Naomi Milgrom Foundation, which commissions each year’s MPavilion, said: “Carme Pinos’s philosophy of community closely aligns with MPavilion’s own mission to facilitate meaningful dialogue about the role of design and architecture, and what it means to foster socially inclusive cities in the context of design and the built environment. I’m excited to see Carme’s MPavilion come to life, and to also see the new collaborations and discussions that unfold through her vision.”Commenting on her MPavilion design, Carme Pinos, founder of Estudio Carme Pinos, said: “MPavilion 2018 is a place for people to experience with all their senses — to establish a relationship with nature, but also a space for social activities and connections. Whenever I can, I design places where movements and routes intersect and exchange, spaces where people identify as part of a community, but also feel they belong to universality.”The design has also inspired MPavilion’s program themes including — building communities, women in leadership, fostering inclusive cities, visual languages: fashion and architecture, regional contexts, and landscape and nature.http://www.blouinartinfo.com/ Founder: Louise Blouin Read more
