Montalba Architects presents a pavi lion for Bex &\; Arts 2017, a collaborative project at the crossroads o f art, architecture and new technologies.
The Bex &\; Arts sculpture triennial was started more than 25 year s ago. Original works of art are displayed in a beautiful park that offers views towards the Lé\;man landscape and the Alps.
David Montalba, who has known this event since his chi ldhood initiated a temporary pavilion idea for the 2017 exhibition.
The exhibition pavilion, about 40 square me ters in size, integrates the presentation to the public of the models of t he works realized by the invited artists as well as a FabLab. There is als o a small library section where books from the artists are on display, whi ch will allow the exhibition to further impact each and every visitor.
The theme of the energy that connects th
e works presented in this triennial guided the design of the building. The
wooden structure is lightweight and removable so that it can be reused fo
r future
events. The choice of materials, naturally Swiss, and the lo
cal constructive know-how have guided the technical and implementation res
olutions.
The pavilion is an importan t step in the visit to the park. It offers visitors the resources and info rmation necessary for the discovery of artists and the understanding of th e works.
The FabLab installed in it, and led by a team of specialists, will be a place of exchange and sharing of technology.
To help us carry out t his artistic and cultural project, we are looking for sponsors and patrons . Such support will contribute to the building of the pavilion, to further radiate this special event, which profoundly impacts the landscape of Swi ss art and the natural landscape.
