Nominee | Interior Design | 2013
Flex Ply Pavilion
The Flex Ply Pavilion stands for low key frugal technology applied to the most rudimentary of shelters with the most natural material to provide a minimal architecture with maximal spatial quality. Entirely made of lightweight plywood, the pavilion combines the tensile qualities of timber with a protective breathing textile skin, to achieve a structure that can be assembled, dismanteled, transported and stored with the utmost ease. Segmented into compact sections, the pavilion consists of wall panel and roof segments. There is no separation between structure and covering. Both component parts are assembled in most part, without tools.
Comments of the nominators
The pavilion uses plywood in a way that is unusual - both in technical and ecological terms, and from the design point of view. The smart structural design gives the wood an almost textile appearance. And the practical advantages are equally convincing: the structure is easy to set up and to dismantle, is easy to transport and needs little storage space.
