In collaboration with Matthew Rosier
The Basel pavilion of culture proposes two new civic spaces; above ground, a multi-use playground encouraging engagement with the surrounding environment and with existing architecture, and below ground, a 'subterranean art city'. Playground equipment playfully integrates into the underground world, creating a fluid boundary between inside and outside. A microcosm of art galleries below, encourage an engagement between artists and visitors, as the visitor experiences a rich wealth of evolving Swiss art in the presence of those who make it.
