CONSTRUCTION 333

BACKGROUND

The original idea for Pavilion 333 came about during an application for the 2018 Biennale, in which teachers from the dbxchange.eu network and the TUM Architecture Museum developed a design for the German pavilion. An “active construction site” was planned, which would be run by students from various universities and constantly evolving during the Biennale. Although this interactive concept was not selected, the idea of a show site remained. In addition, the importance of the DesignBuild teaching method in TUM’s architecture studies was recognized, as was the need for a mediation space Kunstareal München.

DESIGN

Pavilion 333 was planned and built by architecture students as part of a design project under the professorships of Hermann Kaufmann and Florian Nagler at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) between 2019 and 2020.

As a solitary building with a square floor plan, the chosen design blends confidently into its surroundings as a neighbor to the Pinakothek der Moderne, between Türkentor and Museum Brandhorst.

Two aspects are decisive for the design concept: Firstly, the windmill-like construction of the pavilion, which characterizes the interior and is reflected as a design element in all other building components. The spacious, column-free floor plan can be created by choosing a lever structure made of glulam beams. On the other hand, the temporary aspect of the structure plays a major role. During the planning phase, this was taken into account in the construction and in all other components. For example, the connections of all elements were designed for easy dismantling and assembly.

The panels of the façade are pierced by four large glazed areas, which are arranged like windmill blades on all sides of the building. This creates targeted views and insights as well as two entrances. With its high translucency, the façade creates a bright, light-flooded interior that can be used for a variety of purposes. Only a slender core with storage spaces and a designated toilet was chosen.
