Future Space Pavilion

The Future Space Pavilion is a temporary installation whose symmetrical structure draws on the extraordinary proportions of the Renaissance courtyard of Ca' Granda and plays with the fundamental elements of Renaissance style: symmetry, proportion and geometry. The project explores the material presence of wood in a non-typical building environment, using it as a structure that transmits a spatial experience rather than enclosing a functional program. Through its form, the installation reflects the studio's thoughts on future spaces: sustainability, with wood as a renewable material; structure, expressed honestly and directly; and spatial emotion, generated through the relationship of body to form. Three separate wings rise in gradually changing heights, simply stacking and rotating wooden sticks of varying lengths into a pyramid-like ensemble that visitors are invited to enter and explore as a cave-like space. The perforated structure filters daylight, evoking a playful game of light and shadow across the interior surfaces. The form opens three apertures: one serves as the entrance, while the other two frame views toward the university courtyard and toward other installations on site. The result is a compact, contemplative wooden pavilion that uses modular repetition and geometric order to create an immersive, future-oriented spatial atmosphere while keeping material and construction as simple and sustainable as possible.
