The Liquid Wall


A pavilion that moves through the city

The Liquid Wall


A pavilion that moves through the city
The Liquid Wall is a movable pavilion that functions as a platform for the exchange of ideas where meeting and co-creation is central.

Architecture is a representation of its time. But in current times, which changes rapidly, it’s hard to imagine a ‘solid’ architecture that fulfill all the needs. Contemporary society has become a liquid society with boundaries becoming more blurred or unclear.
A society that is fragile and transitory, losing more and more anchor points.
The Liquid Wall is an attempt to be an architectural representation of our time. It acts as a metaphoric anchor point, a place for meeting and co-creation, a platform for ideas and free speech. It’s constructed in such a way that it can easily be moved to different locations so it can be used several times to create a new dynamic each time.
The walls are made of wooden panels painted with chalkboard paint that challenge you to leave a drawing or message. But all is temporary, these can be erased or altered by another person or washed by a rain shower.
The Liquid Wall is a search for a more ‘liquid’ architecture that can represent our time.
