The pavilion one rethought use of nature’s willow, which in interaction with the urban context and other more high tech building materials such as ETFE, underlines the capabilities of nature’s building blocks. The design filters the light and creates a lively, changing play of light and shadow which, in interaction with wood creates a warm ambience. With the natural values at the site and the surroundings, the pavilion appears strong and recognizable among the other grandiloquent buildings at the plaza.
