Pavilion

Eye Beacon

The design of the Eye Beacon pavilion takes up the topic of biomimicry. Its source of inspiration were living deep-sea organisms, who counteract the darkness of their environment by using bioluminescence. To construct the both sculptural as well as functional pavilion, two twisted-looking cubes with a total of 316 panels were connected to each other. All surfaces are made of elastic fabric. Together, they create openings and provide a view into the interior of the pavilion whose striking appearance is reinforced by the play of light.

Statement by the Jury

The sculptural design, which plays with geometric shapes, as well as the highly effective lighting turn the Eye Beacon pavilion into an eye-catching feature in a public space.
