The aim of this contest is the construction of a temporary pavilion, enlarging the range of activities offered by “Architecture and Design Archive”, and opening doors to the neighborhood, with a multiproposal and flexible building trough which the citizens will achieve a rapprochement with architecture and design matters.

The “eccentric” proposal grows from the target of respecting Barragan’s gardens. The mimesis between the pavilion’ s architecture and a modern period architecture is not an available option for us, as long as we agree that i5 not the right interpretation that should have a new building in such a respectable context Unlike that, our proposal i5 a pavilion able to establish a contemporary dialog with the archive building and the backyard garden.

Its location in the deep end garden and the fact of being surrounded by several walls made irreproachable its circular geometry, in order to avoid issues between the backyard enclosure and the pavilion, allowing a fluent peripheral circulation. Curved geometries have already been found in the archive building and the backyard garden original design, represented by the ramp and some vegetation areas. So the pavilion should gather its influence when materializes.

One of the key aspects of the proposal is to bury the building 1m, so the ground becomes 75cm lower, in the inner ground, allowing the specially designed work-tables and shelves to be bound to the ground on the outside and thus create a visual interior-exterior continuity, bringing to the pavilion a close relationship with the garden and a new perspective view of the archive building. This will also get a larger internal headroom (3.5m highest point and 2.75m lowest) to give a rich and versatile space, taking out any domestic resemblance.

The pavilion is pierced by a circular courtyard in order to illuminate the interior and create a more pleasant atmosphere. The eccentric position of the courtyard separates the pavilion program in two parts, first one, the coffee bar area with kitchen-store and second one, a multipurpose space to shelter activities such as conferences, concerts, workshops etc. The roof is corrugated by a ruled-surface to give more headroom in this space (3.5m) and allow more light and some interesting sky visuals as well as the garden trees visuals. The bar’s deck descends to give better scale for its environment

The construction is raised by a timber structure, to be recycled after its construction, and easy to disassemble. Also using the best materials of HunterDouglas and MASISA sponsors in order to be as economical as possible. The deck, soil and special furniture pieces are MDF made and the opaque facade segments are coated with UVELINE.

Once the pavilion has been removed, it is predicted to refill and restore the plot’s land and going back to the original state of the garden and erase all evidence of the previous existence of such a construction.
