Plasticamente Pavilion to host the premiere of Walt Disney new movie Trilli
Walt Disney has choosen Plasticamente Pavilion to host the premiere of their new movie Trilli, an eco-friendly cartoon. This pavilion dedicated to the world of children’s, to exploring the qualities of the plastic and its potential for recycle.
The Pavilion, designed by Riccardo Giovanetti, has been erected for the first time during the recent Italian fair Ecomondo (Rimini Fair, 5-8 November 2008). It was commissioned by IPPR, the Italian Institute of Plastic Recycled as a mobile exhibition travelling across different cities during next months.
The DNA of the Pavilion slowly reveals itself, first in the way the structure seems to float lightly over the floor. Although this is a large pavilion it gives an impression of weightlessness, and can appear almost animate and breathing.
The design of this architecture was an exercise in balance that comprises the transparency of the architecture, the visibility of the exhibition from far away and the sense of intimacy required for this kind of interior.
The roof is pleasingly organic with a light concave sky of white plastic discs. The roof born like a reminiscent to the molecular structures of polymers.
The exterior is enveloped in a skin made up of hundreds of white plastic discs, creating a fine molecular structure. This shining surface remains constant across the whole pavilion, reinforcing the unity of the structure and giving it the quality of a vast and sensuous architecture.
The dichotomy between the powerful sculptural mass of the Pavilion’s structure and the lightness of its envelope create a bold and enigmatic element.
The Pavilion’s exterior develops into a rich variety of interior point of views that maximize the potential to reuse and rethink space due to the innate flexibility of its plan.
