The Archipelago Pavilion / Marcus Abrahamsson & Benoit Croo

Posted in Architecture - Pavilion by * FORMAKERS

The pavilion at Röhsska museum of design in Göteborg is entirely built out of precision cut stainless steel.

With perforations that shift the light and with joints that are put together by hand, it serves as a focus point in the big courtyard while visitors can relax in its shade.

The pavilion is parametrically designed in Grasshopper and Rhino to optimize loads, sun and shade, and material use. Words on the design We set out to create a pavilion that provided shading in- and outside.

The pavilion therefore creates a network of spaces with the existing furniture that altogether manages to inhabit the large courtyard, like different small islands in an archipelago.

Inside the pavilion you can lie comfortably on the smooth surface where you find yourself in a space, the pavilion, within a space, the courtyard, that creates a small but secluded getaway from the hectic city life of central Gothenburg that is just outside the courtyard.

The perforation in the ceiling spreads out an organic pattern resembling the one you would see from a tree in the forest. Contrasting the sleek inside, the outside of the pavilion lets the visitor study in detail how the 133 pieces are joined together with 1535 joints.
