The Pavilion of the UIA Congress is a circular sign in a “natural” environment: a permeable, interactive and living fence as metaphoric traslation of the action of human settlement. Architecture is creation of a fence, between man and nature, and the definition of a reference point. The project comes frome the interaction between two main elements: the wood and the fence. The wood is created by a regular sequence of 62 totem artificial trees, (made by inflatable tubes) planted in plastic traslucent pots. The pavilion is a dry system structure: steel structure with a floor finished with multilayered wood panels, matt vertical partition (gypsum board panels), clear vertical partition (compact polycarbonate sheet), the roof system is composed by sandwich panels finished with aluminium flashing. The external skin is defined by regular sequence of coloured inflatable tubes.
