“Commenting on the MPavilion concept: "Even with the most modest of architecture projects, you are changing the world.”
Rem Koolhaas, Founder, OMA.
Reflecting on the history and legacy of the MPavilion project from 2014 to 2019, MPavilion: Encounters with Architecture and Design captures the remarkable contribution of the first six MPavilion architects as well as the many collaborators who have contributed to MPavilion project so far. Through their help, MPavilion has become a model for promoting architecture, design and urban renewal.
“MPavilion is part of the general phenomenon around the world where people enjoy congregating in informal situations and contexts, debating and discussing contemporary ideas. It is part of the phenomenon of encouraging people to be participants rather than simply an audience.”
Nicholas Serota, Chair, Arts Council of England
“Architecture is a service to society; it changes people’s lives and makes society possible. That’s why I liked Naomi Milgrom’s MPavilion project— it’s social, and it’s for the citizens to use. We need to find a new language and that time has come. It’s time for free and flexible architecture.”
Carme Pinós, Founder, Estudio Carme Pinós
Available from August 18, 2020, the richly illustrated monograph designed by Australia’s award-winning creative agency Studio Ongarato comprises a series of seven essays by stellar contributors; Stephen Todd, Julia Peyton-Jones, Rory Hyde, Aric Chen, Ellie Stathaki, Caroline Roux and Françoise Fromonot. Exploring how each architect addressed the design of MPavilion, the book reflects a growing and much needed broader conversation about design today, and investigates the critical use of pavilions, parks, and public spaces in creating healthier cities and communities.
