Two months after the opening of the 2017 MPavilion in Melbourne, its designers, OMA?s Rem Koolhaas & David Gianotten, have returned to discuss the commission and design process, as well as their reactions to its use thus far.?The opening was an opening with many formal obligations and many excellencies, and that was exciting,? said Koolhaas about the pavilions opening events. ?But frankly more exciting was this morning, when the thing performed really wonderfully spontaneously in terms of raising a lot of issues and having from the very first second a really animated discussion about a whole range of issues. And that?s exactly we intended it go.?
The MPavilion also announced a series of temporary installation that will take over the pavilion over the coming months, including a family-oriented design by OMA. Titled ?Swings,? OMA?s installation will add 9 suspended seats to the center of the MPavilion, allowing visitors to interact with the structure in a new way. The swings will also be lit in the evening, giving the pavilion a new glow after dusk.
