Description
The objective of The Art Fund Pavilion architecture competition is to provide The Lightbox with a semi-permanent summer pavilion which will sit alongside their RIBA award-winning building by Marks Barfield Architects.

The pavilion will first be shown during the London Design Festival 2009 as part of Tent London and will then travel home to The Lightbox, Woking’s new gallery and museum.

• Maximum pavilion footprint: 35 square metres, which can be situated in any place within the red lines indicated on the Lightbox Canal courtyard pdf plan. Maximum height: 4 metres.
• Illustrate your design as being used in each of the following 3 scenarios:
As an exhibition space with 8 x A1 size wall-mounted pieces, 6 x plinth-based pieces (500 L x 500 W x 900 H mm) and 4 x floor-standing pieces (1sqm each) allowing space for circulation.
As a formal presentation space for up to 30 persons seated.
As an informal gathering or party space
• Your design must be able to be assembled in 72 hrs and disassembled in 24 hrs.
• The pavilion will be transported and stored, therefore your design should include practical considerations for disassembly and reassembly i.e. stackable components, modularity, longevity.
