This project explores the kinetic magic of structures, brought to life through an opportunity at Radíč Castle. Inspired by classical Roman architecture, the pavilion reinterprets historical forms through a contemporary lens. While its classical counterpart was crafted from marble, this pavilion embraces sustainability, using timber to achieve a natural and refined aesthetic.
At the heart of the design is playful kineticism, allowing the structure to adapt and transform. Movable panels provide shelter, regulate the internal climate, and create a dynamic atmosphere – ranging from open and sunlit to enclosed and intimate. The framework captures what can be described as a “divine spark” – an impulse that shapes the pavilion’s magical essence. This concept is woven into its design, resulting in a space that harmonizes innovation, history, and functionality.
