Pavilion DIT

The Pavilion of Moscow Information Technology Department is part of the VDNH (The Exhibition of Achievements of National Economy). The pavilion is a three-part structure with different flexible thematic areas: an exposition area, a business center and a kid’s area connected to the central communication space.

  Ledged thematic areas create open spaces for flexible use in the summer season (open exhibitions, lectures, workshops, kid’s activities). Open and closed spaces generate the model of urban organism, united by a common surface – a smart floor. Smart floor creates new algorithms, promoting a thematic flexibility and variability, due to a permanent allocation of the connection points on the entire plane. Light navigation systems, engineering systems, electrical, lighting and heating are implanted into a single plate.

On a visual level, the object manifests anonymity at the expense of a monolithic solution – the outer shell to the local implantation of light apertures. Three deaf volumes identify three large openings designating and fixing the spatial location of the building. The outer skin has its own identity due to concrete slabs that size 2x1m with plastic revealed pattern formalizing the aesthetics of the parent. Such plastics continue in the open space of the yard entrance group.
