# Circular Pavilion Designs This Pavilion is Made Up of Many Circles That Form a Maze By Mishal Omar | Published 2016-06-06 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/circular References: [archdaily](http://www.archdaily.com/788751/pezo-von-ellrichshausens-vara-pavilion-is-a-maze-of-concentricity-in-venice) & [pezo.cl](http://pezo.cl/) Designed for the 2016 Venice Biennale, Pezo Von Ellrichshausen's Vara circular pavilion is meant to represent a normal building that instills a sense of curiosity. The circular pavilion is a deep green color and was made with "[steel, cement, and painted plaster](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/miel-pavilion)." The fact that the structure lacks a roof makes it look more like an art piece than a pavilion, as it lacks the intended purpose that comes along with most pavilions. The structure is made up of 10 overlapping circles and has open doorways that the viewer can walk through -- making it necessary for the viewer to find their way out of the pavilion much as they would a maze. The circular pavilion is not intended to be functional but works as a [unique art piece](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/a-capsule-in-time) that was created to have an "unintelligible capacity to become something more than what it seems to be." ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.1/10 - Popularity: 46% | Activity: 10% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Circular Architecture:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop sustainable construction materials and techniques to support the creation of circular buildings. - **Interactive Art Installations:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Incorporate technology and interactivity into art installations to create immersive and engaging experiences for viewers. - **Non-functional Design:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore the concept of non-functionality in design to challenge traditional notions and create thought-provoking and unconventional structures. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Architecture:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Redefine the boundaries of architectural design by incorporating circular elements and non-traditional materials. - **Art:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Merge art and technology to create interactive installations that transcend traditional boundaries of visual expression. - **Construction:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop sustainable and eco-friendly construction materials that can be used in the creation of non-functional structures. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Tranquil Round Pavilions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-round-pavilion.md) - [Interactive Public Pavilions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/radius-transformation-pavilion.md) - [Code-Generated Pavilion Structures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-orb.md) - [Organic Spiral Pavilions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pasona-natureverse-pavilion.md) - [Perforated Light-Passing Art Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/circle-pavilion.md) - [Sleek Spiralling Ramp Pavilions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/czech-pavilion.md) - [Interactive Architectural Pavilions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/folding-landscape.md) - [Ceramic Vault Structures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/muqarnas-pavilion.md) - [Climate-Sensitive Pavilion Structures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/querkraft.md)
