Oil project

REFLECT is a pavilion intended to bring crossover interaction among people,
art, water and the surrounding ruins. The idea speculated from Jaume Plensa’s
design aim to transform people’s experience of the space they occupy, and
make people engage and fall into his art absorbed by it. We progressed into
designing the pavilion as a place not only for the gallery of Jaume Plensa’s
works, but also as a hub for socialising, having a picnic, a mini concert, runway
shows or organising local events.

The entire pavilion area forms a full circle
consisting of seating areas, shallow surface of water acting as a water mirror,
Jaume Plensa’s sculptures and a digital screen which would display the
artist’s drawings. Rows of wide seating blocks stack up to form two stairslike
structure. The pavilion celebrates Jaume Plensa’s vision of diversity and
dissolving boundaries through art. Flowing water surrounds the pavilion
inviting the community to interact within.

The water creates a reflection of the
surroundings and aims to allow ample thinking space. Plensa’s ‘World Voices’
itself also attracts people to come closer by its sound made by droplets falling
on the cymbols.
