Mezzo Atelier has completed a temporary pavilion for Walk&Talk, an interdisciplinary festival held every year in the Azores. The project is inspired by forms and proportions of the traditional Azorean houses. Its structure consists of a series of portals and, like a church, has a free central nave and a perimeter walkway. The wooden frame allows the "house" of the festival to be variable in the size and configurations. The project can host the most diverse functions: workshops and conferences, breakfasts and dinners, concerts and performances. The flexibility of the pavilion allows artists the creative appropriation of the structure and the square in which it is located.
