Wrapped Around Pavilion
Morbegno, Italia

Progetto: Carlo Ezechieli


Assistants: Andrei Vassallo

This project doesn’t want to solve the problem of global warming, nor to declare itself "sustainable", nor to save the planet. The goal is simply to celebrate the joy of children, making them feel an integral part of the environment around them.
While a pavilion is usually identified as a space with trees around it, in this case are trees with a pavilion around them. In the shape of this small space, where the design of the greenery and that of the pavilion are one, concavity prevails over convexity, literally enveloping those who frequent it.
Entering through narrow corridors, instead of a flat floor, you find yourself immersed in a topography that allows children to play and use the space freely according to their desires.
The pavilion is high enough to be hidden in the vegetation. Only the roof is slightly visible, creating an environment inside that appears like an enchanted world.

2018 - ongoing

Architectural design: Carlo Ezechieli

The project reclaims a currently semi-abandoned plot of land where, almost 1’000 years ago used to stand the orchards, vineyards and castle of Ariberto, Archbishop of Milan. Three rings - whose form was suggested both by the topography and by the spatial arrangement of the site - provide both circulation and identification of different ‘rooms’, each featuring a specific architectural quality. With the aim of revealing one thousand years of history, the abstract and pure form of the rings, literally driven into this ancient soil, act as a section, thus making tangible its historical depth.

The use of different materials withdrawn from ancient monuments recurrent in Romanesque Architecture inspired the design of paving.
