Open Pavilion

Gran Via de les Corts Catalanes, Barcelona

A 700m2 open pavilion for public activities in a square in transformation. Les Glòries square in Barcelona is under a huge urban transformation. In the lapse of time of the works a public facility is needed so that citizens can start using the new public space. The 700 m2 open pavilion is an energy self-sufficient shelter made of tensed canvas whose colors are the sonocromatic translation of whale’s songs, composed by the cyborg artist Neil Harbisson. Thanks to the EyeborgApp this composition can be listened.
