The pavilions present countless forms and functions, offering unique opportunities for experimentation with form, construction, material, structure, surface, and texture. They often serve as prototypes for larger buildings or as purely artistic endeavors. The specific location of a pavilion offers rich possibilities for interaction with the landscapes, streets, and people around it. They can act as temples of digital interaction or provide an oasis of tranquil isolation. This is a selection of the best examples produced in recent years. From the groundbreaking forms of Sou Fujimoto to Zaha Hadid's Chanel pavilion, from small constructions created entirely from agricultural waste to a mirrored kaleidoscope designed by Olafur Eliasson, each pavilion presented offers a lesson in the extreme possibilities of built form and demonstrates that many of the greatest ideas in architecture start from small foundations.
