Counterspace’s design is based on gathering spaces and community places around the city, folding London in to the Pavilion structure.
Designed by Johannesburg-based practice Counterspace - and directed by Sumayya Vally - the youngest architect to be commissioned for this renowned architecture programme. This year’s design pays homage to community spaces across London by translating real architectural elements into the final structure highlighting the importance of spaces where people can gather, interact and connect.
The Pavilion has been built of reclaimed steel, cork and timber covered with micro-cement. For the first time in the history of this commission, fragments of the pavilion also occupy four places of community importance across the city, with the goal of facilitating gatherings and impromptu interactions.
