ANDVARRI — Desert Festival Pavilion
Andvarri is a temporary desert pavilion designed as a light-driven gathering space for cultural events.
The structure acts as a fluid architectural shell, shaping light, shade, and movement.
Its translucent skin transforms the desert environment into a soft, atmospheric interior, hosting informal talks, performances, and moments of collective pause.
The pavilion interior is defined by light filtering through a translucent shell, producing soft gradients, shadows, and a continuous dialogue between interior space and the surrounding desert landscape.
The pavilion’s curved geometry guides movement and perception, creating a continuous spatial flow shaped by the desert landscape.
A bespoke lighting system is seamlessly integrated into the pavilion’s structure.
Subtle illumination traces its flowing geometry, revealing depth and rhythm after sunset.
The pavilion transforms into a calm, sculptural presence within the night landscape.
A minimal circular luminaire suspended at the heart of the pavilion, subtly echoing the geometry of the structure and shaping the spatial atmosphere through soft, diffused light.
Minimal cubic seating forms introduce a sense of order within the fluid pavilion geometry.
Their restrained proportions and soft surfaces create calm points of pause, grounding the space through contrast rather than ornament.
