Pavilion
Creator.Persons
Calatrava, Santiago, 1951-
Description
The
broadly
rectangular
pavilion
worked
on
three
levels
: the
mobile
roof
,
which
shielded
or
admitted
sunlight
to the
pavilion
; the
platform
below
, with
stepped
access
on
either
side
; and the
semi-basement
exhibition
hall
,
reached
by
ramps
sinking
down
through
pools
of
water
to the
east
and
west
. The
powerful
impact
of the
structure
depended
on the
union
of
architecture
and
engineering
which
Calatrava
has
made
his
own
. The
interior
received
natural
lighting
from
three
sources
: a
ceiling
of
translucent
marble
; a
clerestory
of
openings
in the
risers
of the
steps
above
; and
light
wells
to the
east
and
west
. At
night
light
from the
exhibition
hall
made
the
platform
glow
eerily
. The
17
ribs
of the
canopy
,
mounted
as
sabers
on
bone-like
pylons
,
provided
the
most
dynamic
feature
of the
pavilion
