The Cloud
The playground pavilion for EXPO 2020 is conceptually a game. All the possible actions that take place in the pavilion shape the game of the space and are the pavilion itself.

The two main components of the pavilion are the “cloud” and the “bubbles”. The shaped actions happen in the bubbles; the suggested actions happen in the cloud and feature a number of possible actions suggested by objects and spatial situations. The design process made it fundamental to work and design not only the building, but also the construction site: in fact the pavilion itself wil become a construction site durin the exposition. together, great care is given to the thermal performance, and to the structural behaviur of both the bubbles and the cloud.
