The design succesfully creates a multi-layered dialogue between the project and the existing structure, from which it infers the geometric organization while maintaining a visual and physical space between the content and the container. A progression of solid and perforated metal partitions are artfully situated within the space of the pavilion so to create a course within the exhibition that is equally spatial and visual.
