Beer Crate Buildings

The Pavillon du Bonheur Provisoire Stands for 'Temporary Happiness'

The Pavillon du Bonheur Provisoire is absolutely mind-boggling. Made out of 33,000 beer crates, it was built for the to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the World's Fair in Brussels, Belgium.

Designed by architects Shin Bogdan Hagiwara, Thierry Decuypere, and Jorn Aram Bihain, the Pavillon du Bonheur Provisoire is a temporary structure that coincidentally means 'Pavilion of Temporary Happiness.' Although it exhibits about The Atomium and World's Fair, I can't help but think people will come to see it just on its own.
