MPavilion makes Dezeen’s Top 10 pavilions for 2019!
Looking at the appeal of temporary structures from around the world, one of the most popular design publications—Dezeen—has released its annual line up of outstanding pavilions. And we’re ecstatic to share that the 2019 MPavilion, designed by Glenn Murcutt, made the cut!
“Australian architect Glenn Murcutt placed a large, translucent roof on top of a minimal steel structure to create this year’s MPavilion in Melbourne’s Queen Victoria Gardens.
“The roof conceals LED lighting, allowing the structure to glow at night like a lantern. Murcutt designed the pavilion as a “sleek and adaptable” shelter that can be easily dismantled,” says Daria Casalini.
Other pavilions on the list range from the delicate to the hi-tech…
