BONHEUR PROVISOIRE – Ein Pavillion konstruiert aus über 33.000 Bierkästen

Zum 50. Jubiläum der Weltausstellung in Belgien erschufen die Architekten Shin Bogdan Hagiwara, Thierry Decuypere, und Jorn Aram Bihain einen riesigen Pavillion der aus über, und jetzt haltet euch fest, 33.000 belgischen Bierkästen errichtet wurde! Baukunst meets Braukunst könnte man sagen.

The pavilion was positioned to face the iconic ‘Atomium’ building, built for the original exhibition. It was located on the roundabout below this symbolic building, purposely to be in the middle of a circle of cars and pedestrians. The projection room is surrounded by an exhibition space propitious for a fluid and contemplative wandering. The building envelope and this spaces create a filter between the real outside world and an imaginary inner world. (…)

With the constructive principles of universality and reusability, we decided to use a material extracted from the daily life of an ordinary consumer. Hence, a plastic beer crate is used as a generic element – like bricks, but deployed beyond its individual characteristics. This allowed us to explore many common architectural features such as columns, arches, and domes, combining together to form a huge and enigmatic interior environment. After an initial estimate, about 33,000 empty crates were necessary to construct the pavilion. The selection of this material allowed us to reduce the time of assembly and disassembly and produce a series of spaces that far exceeds the mere accumulation of common elements in an architectural format.
