Wrapped Around Pavilion
Morbegno, Italia
2021

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.

This winning entry for the new National Technological Center dedicated to radioactive waste decommissioning, was developed following a simple but effective concept: while radioactive substances are brought back to their “hellish” underground home, there is an opportunity to restore an “Edenic” condition on the surface. A marvelous garden where a “citadel” - designed like a mountain, featuring an inner “valley” – hosts the Center’s activities. Planting dissolves into the surrounding landscape and the garden/citadel/lake/forest sequence provides all the needed environmental and architectural complexity.
