Ideas Drawn
Buzzi, Vittorio Gregotti, Meneghetti, Stoppino
This ephemeral structure evoke good sensations on its appearance reminiscing the magic of origami folded structures sat down on a park where a trade fair was helded in 50s.
The pavilion was conceived as a smart but singular design where portable systems fit perfectly on this scenario. Called the 'Pavilion of Industry' at the 3rd Novara Trade Fair designed by Franco Buzzi Cerian,Vittorio Gregotti, Lodovico Meneghetti and Giotto Stoppino. Celebrated in Novara, Italy in 1953.
These kind of installations resembles a complete representation of modern construction techniques where their appearance of lightweight structures, to their capacity for fast dismantling and portability complete a singular landscape for a trade fair celebrated in a park.
The organizers of trade fairs imposed strict budgetary guidelines where pavilions were assembled with hire material, henced the use of recyclable materials, and had to be dismantled inmediately after the trade fair closed. The pavilions were built of metallic pipe structures with articulated joints, structures in wood, roofing in canvas, or transparent plastics and aluminium, coated with Masonite panels.Â
