Olympic Games Pavilion | paola oberto

The project develops a temporary information pavilion for the Olympic Games 2012, in Trafalgar Square, London. The building is divided into different 'blocks', each one corresponding to different functions: an info point, a shop, a cafè with a double projection screen facing both the inside and the outside, the administration, the toilets and a technical area. The structure is made of steel arches which support concrete panels on which vertical and horizontal strips are drilled and filled with colored and transparent resin, in order to let the light filter inside. The regular shape of the panels allows a reuse of them in other pavilions.
