The basic design is a simple, cube-shaped BlackBox within which the different activities set out in the design specifications can take place in various configurations. Thus there is always a degree of stimulating mystery as to what is taking place inside.\u00a0The pavilion has a temporary appearance in two senses.\u00a0On the one hand the fact that its use is temporary. In the course of each week a number of different, not always more precisely defined activities take place. Thus the building also needs a powerful aura when not in use. This is a factor in line with the decision in favor of the Black Box: at times when no activities are taking\u00a0place in the building this should not affect the impression generated by the building. But when something is indeed happening inside this is also clear, thanks to the large casement door on the terrace, measuring 5.4 x\u00a04.5m (width x height). Nonetheless, the main impression created by the building is that of a temporary\u00a0nature. Temporary in the sense of mutable; transient; living.\u00a0This living quality (in the sense of transient; temporary) is also reflected in the lifecycle of the building.\u00a0The pavilion \u2018comes into being\u2019 at a certain location;\u00a0it has a period of flowering\u00a0in which it is used intensively;\u00a0and after five years it will be demolished again; dead.\u00a0A cycle, which in this temporary pavilion is, experienced more rapidly that in an average building. We have decided to exploit this fact; not just to go through three phases, but also to ensure that it always looks different. Every season, every month, every week\u2026This means the building has an exterior appearance that changes every day: a living environment is created\u00a0around\/on top of\/by\/on the building where nature can blossom. This is why a system of recycled felt sheets\u00a0and irrigation pipes has been selected, which will enable plants to grow quickly up and around the cube.<\/p>\n
