Wrapped Around Pavilion
Morbegno, Italia
2021

Progetto: Carlo Ezechieli


Assistants: Andrei Vassallo
 Renderings: Valerio Croci


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.

Complying with the practical need of retaining stormwater on site, this stone fountain is conceived to reveal the presence of the vein of gravel - lying just underneath the site - brought to Milan 12’000 years ago by the melting  glaciers, at the end of the last Ice Age. Designed as a crossover between lotus gardens and Japanese rock gardens, the concave surface of each circular stone retains a tiny layer of rainwater, both showing the falling reaindrops as well as reflecting light, as mirrors, when the rain stops.
