vienna based firms SPAN and zeytinoglu architects have won the competition for
their design of the austrian pavillion for the shanghai expo 2010.
'the main driving force behind the design of the austrian pavilion for the expo in
shanghai 2010 can be described as acoustic forces, or more accurately as music.
music as a concept that reflects continuity in terms of architectural articulation
that seamlessly connects the various spaces within the program. the embodiment
of the sonic conditions within the space manifest the architecture of the pavilion,
which resonates to the rhythm of the video jockeys (VJs) performance – the conductor
of the atmospheres within the main space. the rich history of austrian musical
tradition makes it possible to create a performance program reaching from baroque music,
to the classic area to the modern age to contemporary acts. the space unfurls from
within the topological body, from the main space, the audience chamber, to the
exterior epidermis. this process creates pockets, pochés that include the rest of
the program such as shop, restaurant, office, and the VIP area. each one of those
programmatic areas includes qualities co notated with the quality of living within
austrian conurbations: music, culture, culinary expertise, urban textures, opulent
landscapes and lavish foliages.' - matias del campo, SPAN
a continuous ramp leads towards the recessed entrance of the building, creating a seamless connection between interior and exterior.
