The PopUp pavilion embodies a design concept inspired by the fluidity and ephemerality of Barcelona's harbor. It represents a model of community engagement and enhancement, offering a platform for local artists and businesses to showcase their talents and wares. Constructed of lightweight aluminum frames and covered with perforated translucent fabric, the pavilion is elevated by a modular platform that accommodates various programmatic spaces and circulation. Engineered to minimize its impact on the site, the pavilion embodies a sustainable and efficient approach to temporary building design. Its multifunctional nature, serving as an art gallery, information center, cafĂ©, farmer's market, and central courtyard, fosters social connections and celebrates the creative spirit of the local community. The pavilion's ability to be prefabricated, rapidly assembled, and conveniently disassembled, imbues it with a sense of nimbleness, echoing the fleeting yet enduring nature of the harbor it draws its inspiration from.
