The temporary pavilion features a steel structure, covered with a pink-orange fluorescent vinyl, which are inseparable elements. The final form is the result of an experimental process that took place on the site. The closed structure is completed by an external yellow wooden platform, from which to dive on the canal. The light that passes through the colored skin generates an unusual and psychedelic perception of the historical center.
