a plan/model for an exhibition pavilion in Arnhem's Sonsbeek Park
Consisting of six parallel walls made of cement blocks set 2 and a half metres apart and measuring 4 metres high, the pavilion is covered with a transparent surface.
"A building is a city, a city a building", Aldo van Eyck used to say. And in fact his pavilion reproduces and contains the concept of the city: the parallel walls form five 'streets' which are interrupted here and there or curve to form a system of 'city squares'. In this environment, linear on the outside but filled with motion on the inside, the sculptures become the 'inhabitants' of an imaginary city.
