spanish firm moho architects have sent us in images of their project – media island
wifi pavillion they designed for miguel hernandez university campus in alicante, spain.

the building performs as a virtual interface providing public internet access and a singular
meeting spot for students to hang out and relax .the star/shaped pavilion is divided into
5 different spaces surrounding a central courtyard that guaranties maximum natural lighting
and ventilation. the island raises 1.5 meters from the natural level of the ground though an
white gravel landscape, enforcing the identity and singularity of the pavilion as an ‘object trouve’
in the middle of the campus.
