This pavilion, the result of a collaborative art and architecture project, serves simultaneously as a shelter and a sculpture. It symbolises clouds floating above a pond that subtly reflects its surroundings. The structure is built of thin yet strong stainless steel. The roofing, constructed with a large circular opening, provides a view of the sky over Seoul, South Korea. From the inside, the “sky” theme is continued with an image by the artist Karel Martens called “Dutch Clouds”, composed of a variety of multicoloured icons.
Statement by the Jury
Thanks to its fascinating design, this pavilion not only invites visitors to linger but also provides an art experience that appeals to the senses.
