Architecture Biennale 2016
Competition first prize
The building of the Sale d’Armi, the permanent pavilion of the United Arab Emirates, is a distinctive building from the 16th century that is characterized by an askew grid that follows both the longitudinal load bearing walls and the array of steel columns. 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.
