Pavilion Propositions: Nine Points on an Architectural Phenomenon (Vis-a-vis)

0/5 ( ratings)

This book addresses the contemporary pavilion phenomenon and those often temporary and functionless architectural structures commissioned and exhibited by art institutions around the world . Despite its ubiquity and popular success, the contemporary pavilion has been inconsistently theorized and frequently disparaged. In this thought-provoking book the authors reclaim the pavilion against those that would dismiss the phenomenon as symptomatic of the exhaustion of the critical potential of architecture's intersection with art. The pavilion phenomenon also occasions a timely interrogation of larger questions concerning the changing relations between culture and the economy―changes that are shifting the planes on which architecture and art meet.
