Fundación A LA PAR works towards the rights and participation of people with intellectual disabilities in society.
The pavilion has the archetypical shape of a house to show that it is an inclusive space, a home for all. It celebrates diversity through color and the alliance between people by the intersections of the color lines. It is translucent to unveil to the outside that inclusion through playing is also possible.
The pavilion building process is divided in four principal elements: platform, structure, graphics and envelope.
The structure was designed in parts to be easily assembled in place, shortening execution times. It was completely assembled in 6 hours.
As a complement to the structure work, two large steel doors were installed on the front elevations with three purposes: ensure the natural ventilation of the space, frame the views of the greenery of the surroundings, and keep the activity of the space visually open to everyone.
Once the gates were installed, the graphics were carefuly staked out and done, bringing the main idea of the project to life, celebrate diversity through color.
The custom-made colors chosen for the project, conceptually respond to a blend of the primary colors and the corporative colors of Fundaland.
Lines, were thought as hyperlinks that connect colors in 3D and overrun walls, roof and floor.
The final image is a translucent and ethereal little house where you can discover an inner multicolor space that praises diversity.
