The Altered Reality of the Deflaitng Pavilion | G mazars

The light, unbound structure of the deflating pavilion, revolving around the theme “dream” was proposed as a temporary pavilion that subtlety drapes over and encompass the Museum Garden in London. The design creates an inflated, altered reality within the existing landscape.

It does not poses any static qualities but rather intrigues us with its dynamism, places a guise over the physical landscape and resting upon near by trees. It adds a new characteristic to the environment and briefly transforms it similarly as one briefly submerges into a dream from reality. The structure combines realism with surreal and analyzes both at the same time in juxtaposition with one another. It creates an obstacle for light, where shadows are casted and colors are merged.

The structure is a constant metamorphic state as it deflates and inflates. Its materiality works along side with natural aspect of the wind and light to evokes a new perception in our spatial time frame. It causes one to feel that their always in a different place by rejuvenates their senses with its varying forms.

It creates a new type of interaction between people and space one which is responsive and satisfies our on-going curiosity. It not only employs the environment but also our senses, and should not be looked upon as a structure within a site, but rather a structure that becomes the site, presenting a new understanding about our perspectives of reality.
