past highlights

Material: Aluminum
Designer: Looklen Architects

With the designer’s intention of presenting a new perspective on aluminum, This pavilion was created to tell the for visitors by utilizing mill finish aluminum, which is authentic surface of aluminum that has not been coated or polished, and is rarely seen in conventional architecture. Additionally, it is installed in a modular structure system that can be disassembled and reused completely. This concept enables adaptation and further development in other projects for supporting to reduce overconsumption of resource.

Material: Wood-based Panels
Designer: FLAT12x

This pavilion features plywood as the main material in its design, with emphasizing the surface texture and thickness– two key factors in the proper selection and application of plywood in construction. The result is an architectural structure in the form of a tunnel, which allow visitors to understand more in the product details and brand history of VANACHAI, with the destination of being a symbolic sculpture that embodies the brand’s identity.

Material: Paint and Architectural Coating
Designer: pbm

The inspiration behind the design of this pavilion comes from the “Fan Deck” The shape of pavilion features overlapping wooden layers and curved steel structures resembling an unfolding fan deck presenting a variety of shade seamlessly integrated. The exterior is designed in entire white to present simplicity and encouraging visitors to use their imagination before entering inside to experience the colorfulness, which reflects the ever-shifting moments of color in our lives whether it is the vibrant bursts of joy, the soothing hues of tranquillity, or the dramatic effects of light and shadow.

Material: Vinyl Rain Gutter
Designer: ativich

This architectural space invites everyone to fully immerse themselves in its dimensions. Visitors can create their own unique experiences and perspectives, akin to rotating an image within kaleidoscope through the manipulation of reflective panels in The Forest of Mirrors. This interaction allows them to enjoy a variety of spatial perceptions by using shiny materials to experience optical illusions—making the roof panels and vinyl slat appear to float and feel weightless. It effectively highlights the outstanding qualities of VG’s products.

Material: Solid Teak, Wall Panels
Designer: POAR

This thematic pavilion is designed under the concept of “Piece by Piece” to convey the unique charm of natural wood through a two-part structure that reflects a collaborative construction process. These two components are placed in parallel and structurally transfer the load. The first part consists of stainless steel shelving system, inspired by factory wood-storage racks used to sort and showcase gain patterns, distorted gable structure which is featured WOODDEN’s modular wood paneling and MOSU 3D wall products. Between a narrow and contemplative pathway – inviting visitors to walk through and appreciate an experience gained from physical and interactions with materials. 

Material: Aluminium Composite
Designer: Architects & Associates (A&A)

“My Time, My Space” is the pavilion design concept that conveys continuous transformation and development by combining the stories of “time” and “space”. The design embodies the advancement of aluminum that adapts to present with applying metal as the core structural element, which is being curved and flowing frameworks. This concept is also connected to the feeling of “the identity of aluminum” and “the value of design” showcasing the flexibility and creativity of aluminum cladding.
