{"product_id":"new-pavilions","title":"New Pavilions","description":"Tents, bandstands, displays, places for sitting, listening, seeing and being seen...  Pavilions have myriad forms and as many functions. For architects and designers, they  offer unique opportunities to experiment with form, construction, material, structure,  surface and texture, often as prototypes for larger buildings or as purely artistic  pursuits. A pavilion's particular location also offers rich possibilities for interaction with  the landscapes, streetscapes and peoplescapes around it. Pavilions can be temples to  digital interaction or provide oases of surreal calm and isolation.       \nThis is a selection of the best examples produced in recent years. From the cutting- edge forms of Sou Fujimoto to Zaha Hadid's Chanel pavilion, from small structures  created entirely out of farm waste to a mirrored carapace conceived by Olafur Eliasson,  each pavilion featured provides a lesson in the extreme possibilities of built form and  demonstrates that many of the biggest ideas in architecture start small.","brand":"Thames \u0026 Hudson Ltd","offers":[{"title":"New - Hardback","offer_id":32686615035989,"sku":"9780500343227N","price":27.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2481\/5790\/products\/9780500343227.jpg?v=1598883814","url":"https:\/\/smeikalbooks.co.uk\/en-us\/products\/new-pavilions","provider":"smeikalbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
