Together with the surrounding Design Museum and the Museum of Finnish Architecture, the Pavilion is the heart of the World Design Capital Helsinki 2012. An open and easy to approach building designed by Aalto University Wood Studio students and specialists, their design enables the organization and integration of many types of functions and events through its physical shape and function. The pavilion, which will be open until September 16, offers free of charge program and recreation for everyone during the 105 days it will be open. More images and project description after the break.
The sunny building will let the visitor enjoy the best parts of summer, the triangle-shaped grate roofing will provide the Pavilion with a playful light which sweeps over the terrace as the day passes. The Pavilion will gather visitors together to enjoy the refreshments and arts, situations and people, get to know and bump into what’s new. The Pavilion consists of a roofed terrace and two triangle shaped premises. The smaller triangle has a kitchen and outdoor café counter. The larger triangle hosts a programme space, which can be expanded to the terrace. The cafeteria kitchen and serving facility, as well as the program space can be closed, and are semi-warm indoor facilities.
