Roofs over one's head: pavilions

Dear <<First Name>> <<Last Name>>,

To provide a roof over one’s head – that is the least one should expect from a building. And, functionally speaking, the objects we are going to present to you in our today’s newsletter do actually not have much more to offer: pavilions. But especially since they are basically very simple structures, the freedom of design is almost infinite, which sometimes may lure architects into creating the most individual concepts.

Nevertheless, the local building regulations should not be crossed, as SelgasCano had to painfully learn with their design of this year’s Serpentine Pavilion. By the way, since the Serpentine Pavilion is a different one each year, we just put another one as well in this newsletter. Also, we present you an homage to brick architecture, a play of shadows and an award-winning dream of a better world. But it is not all sunshine and roses, for death is also a subject of our today’s selection.

Enter the fantastic world of these roofs over one’s head with
mapolis | Architecture.

Yours Jan Zimmermann
