Slow Food Pavilion
Built for a world exposition in 2015, this pavilion gave a place to a movement devoted to food culture and biodiversity. Three long, simple sheds in untreated timber frame a courtyard planted with garden beds.
The sheds recall the farm buildings of the surrounding countryside and hold exhibitions, tastings and talks under exposed timber trusses, while the open sides make the hall and the garden one continuous space. Designed for easy assembly and dismantling, the structure could be reused after the exposition.
