For the reopening of the Haus der Kulturen der Welt HKW in Berlin's Tiergarten, the new team is presenting a pavilion as a platform for social encounters and events at the museum.
Despite its triangular shape, the structure resembles Aldo van Eyck's 'Two kinds of Centrality'.
Inspired by Richard Buckminster Fuller's Dymaxion world map, the pavilion is based on the grid of an equilateral triangle. The three façades offer three different situations and views: Towards the water basin, the covered platform offers a quiet place to stay with a special view.
Supported by a slender wooden structure, the pneumatic roof covers around 100 square meters of protected outdoor space. The (barrier-free) freely accessible platform serves as a meeting place and inspiring lounge. The temporary pavilion leaves no residue and can be erected again at another location on screw foundations that require only minimal investment. Maintained upright by an automatically pressure-controlled radial fan, the roof construction can be completely deflated and dismantled for transportation or storage.
