The proposal, by Bence
Pap and Mario Gasser. from Studio Lynn/University of AppliedArts IoA, is driven by a conceptual approach of highlighting the local cultural
and craft diversity within Austrian regions.
The pavilion is a representation of these expertise in conjunction with Austria’s
diverse topography have produced a broad variety within the cultivation of
agricultural crops and goods.
We understand the architectural proposal to
this proposition as an ark, carrying a library of diverse Austrian goods,
locally produced with a sustainable philosophy. The pavilion is organized as a
two story building executed with a steel frame construction.
The massing is articulated as a pair of
elongated volumes, opening up in the front with a gesture of invitation, and
developing into an internalized fold of the ground within the building granting
visitors access to the main exhibition level at first floor, and leaving the
ground floor with amenities and admin functions with an articulated folded
ceiling along the main axis of circulation.
