From a small element to a complex structure

A modular pavilion made by small flat bamboo elements of industrial production.
A simple structure worth to study for its potential and possible developments.

The pavilion, designed by the chinese firm Urbanus with tutors (Eugeni Bach, Josep Ferrando) and students of the Escuela Técnica y Superior de Arquitectura La Salle, Tutors, is one of the seven transforming the public spaces on the topics of wall, identity, memory, diversity, liberty, democracy and Europe.

The event was commissioned by Barcelona Cultura and organised by Benedetta Tagliabue and Alex Ollé to commemorate the 300th anniversary of the end the siege of Barcelona during the War of the Spanish Succession (11 September 1714).
