pavillon of reflections, zurichPavillon of Reflections, Zurich, 2016

A team of thirty architecture students at ETH Zurich under the guidance of Tom Emerson Studio have designed and built a pavilion for Manifesta 11, the nomadic, European biennial of contemporary art.

"Floating in the lake against the backdrop of the city centre, the Pavillon of Reflections serves as the biennial’s public forum: as a meeting point, as a cinema for screening films produced as part of the biennial, reflected in the public swimming bath, open to the public during the day.

A timber island, arrange like a fragment of intimate urban space enclosed by five buildings: a tower, a tribune, a bar, a sun deck with changing cubicles below, a central pool with cinema screen above, and three generous sets of steps that lead into the lake. Together with the tower, the volumetric roofs over the bar are built up from a distinct profile of timber lattice roofs."
