Muqarnas Pavilion

Idea projektu

The muqarnasat are geometric designs that were made with a very special technique. Some scholars have theorized that muqarnas originated in northeastern Iran. Muqarnasat were mainly used in religious monuments, as they were considered to be a symbol of God's presence. However, they could also be found in other buildings, such as palaces and stately homes. The main goal of this muqarnas pavilion is to combine between heritage, history and modernism through embracing different art exhibitions, and through its unique form. The branching / Tree structure used in the construction of the pavilion emphases on continuity and embracement.
