Distanced pavilions are becoming increasingly popular with architects who are trying to navigate the COVID-19 pandemic with their various public projects. German studio Heidungriess, made up of Alexandra Grieß and Jorel Heid, have submitted an excellent concept that will promote social cohesion and aesthetic appeal, while emphasizing physical distancing.
This stylish distanced pavilion was part of an international design competition that determined a series of temporary installations on Toronto's Beaches and THROBBER by Heidundgriess was one of the winners. The distanced pavilion is essentially inspired by "a computer loading animation." The bold douses of color surely introduce a degree of playfulness to the installation. In its entirety, the structure is made out of 10 small trapezoidal rooms that are lined up next to each other.
