Academy of Architecture Groningen: Tschumi Pavillion

摘要

The Tschumi pavilion was designed in 1990 by the architect Bernard Tschumi as part of a partially outdoor art exhibition held in the city of Groningen in the same year: the What a Wonderfull World! Music Video's in Architecture exhibition. Now, 27 years later, the pavilion has indeed gradually accumulated an impressive portfolio as an urban public venue for all kinds of art projects. In April 2017, however, the idea emerged of having the pavilion once again conceptually approached from a strictly architectural perspective. We - three students of the Groningen Academy of Architecture - gratefully took on this challenge, seizing the opportunity to deploy the pavilion in the capacity in which it was initially meant to be used: as an urban exploration site for a new societal phenomenon.
