The Around Pavilion is a simple, spherical structure that is meant to facilitate music, theatrical and storytelling events in the city of Copenhagen, Denmark. A gorgeous space even though it could be likened to a large and basic hut, the Around Pavilion interestingly compliments the 17th century castle in the King’s Gardens of the Rosenborg Castle, which it is specifically found.
Inspired by London’s Serpentine Gallery and New York’s MoMA PS1, the Around Pavilion was designed by Danish architects Jesper Kort Andersen and Mikkel Kjærgård Christiansen. Swipelife writes, "It was finished with the help of carpenter trainees from a technical college. Batons of Nordic pine were used so as to make it feel homey amongst its surrounding trees. Its circular cut renders a playful element to the garden’s geometrical assembly."
Key Themes Behind This Trend
- Spherical Structures for Community Events
- Designing communal spaces that are simple, spherical structures would encourage community gatherings and events.
- Incorporating Playful Elements in Geometrical Assemblies
- Using circular geometric cuts in garden and park designs adds a playful contrast to the traditionally structured environment.
- Collaborating with Technical Colleges to Build Unique Structures
- Partnering with carpenter trainees from technical colleges can create innovative and cost-effective architectural designs.
Where This Applies
- Architecture
- Exploring new building materials and designs that can improve communal spaces and encourage creativity.
- Park and Garden Design
- Integrating playful and unique elements into traditional landscape designs to create a dynamic visual contrast.
- Education
- Partnering with technical colleges and apprenticeship programs to offer hands-on experience with innovative and creative projects.
