Hungarian Pavilion at the Venice Biennale
Last week we featured some photographs Patricia Parinejad shared with us of the Russian Pavilion for the Venice Biennale. Now she sent us the Hungarian Pavilion, where architects created some really nice spaces with an interesting use of wood pencils hanging from the ceiling.

This event has become a tradition over the last seven years, having grown into the most important event for the architect community in Hungary.

Hungarian Pavillion for Shanghai Expo 2010
Hungary inveiled the design for their pavillion for next year’s Shanghai World Expo, designed by Tamás Lévai. Gömböc, as a hungarian invention, is the central element of the exhibition, a two meter high solid plexiglass moving object.
What is Gömböc (pronounced as ‘goemboets‘)? ‘Gömböc’ is the first known homogenous object with one stable and one unstable equilibrium point, thus with two equilibria altogether on a horizontal surface. It can be proven that no object with less than two equilibria exists. The discovery of the inaccessible path has led to the idea of GÖMBÖC. The pavilion as wood is intended to represent this path, and since it is of immaterial nature, we are trying to evoke it with non materials: empty space, light and sounds.
More images, a video and architect’s description after the break.
