The Inside-Out Pavilion

The main idea was to negate the concept of border as a closed system and move towards a design that allows for the immediate continuance of urban space and public flow; to redefine the border condition from a restrict line to an open spectrum.
The designed pavilion scheme is based on a grid system due to the grid’s inherent ability to generate systems of infinite complexity; inclusive yet heterogeneous fields of almost unlimited diversity. The grid is capable of sustaining an order that is simultaneously strong and weak. 
The pavilion is composed of 23 identical tall and narrow double-sided screens. To create ever-changing spatial sequences, and a     non-linear relation with the site, the screens are designed into different types; some fixed and some fully-rotary, mostly covered by mirrored steel sheets one side and solid metal sheets on the other. 
The duality produced by the faces whether mirrored, opaque, fixed or rotating, constantly effects the density of the images and space, creating different visual and spatial sequences and increase the users’ interaction with the pavilion. Images mediate between the mirrors and create novel optical and physical settings.
