Polish architect, designer, and sculptor Oskar Zieta has unveiled his latest project: the arched NAWA pavilion on an island in Wroclaw, Poland. The pavilion forms part of the European Capital of Culture celebrations following the theme of ?Metamorphoses of Culture? and was unveiled in June. The lightweight steel elements that make up the parametrically designed sculpture are made in a unique method called FiDU, a metal-inflating process created by Zieta during his PhD studies in ETH Zurich. Though Zieta has used FiDU successfully for various products (many exhibited in the Salone del Mobile in Milan), the NAWA Pavillion is the first project of this size to use the technology entirely, and is thus coined as ?a manifesto of FiDU."

The sculptural pavilion is designed with the revitalization of Wroclaw?s Dailowa Island in mind, ?returning it to the dwellers of Wroclaw.? Â The sculpture, along with an additional 7500 new plants to be planted on the island will create ?a consistent organic unity, emerging naturally from the river.? (Zieta)
