Material technology has uncovered ways to achieve durable masonry with delicate appearances, but the Plinthos Pavilion by Mab Architects has proven that fascinating results can be attained from conventional construction components.
Using 21,816 perforated clay bricks, this illuminating installation creates an effect of a see-through structure. Built within a warehouse, the Plinthos Pavilion by Mab Architects was surrounded by lights and stereos to create a surreal interactive experience from within solid walls. The silhouettes seen from the inside look remarkable.
