Gilles Retsin, Program Director of Architectural Design MArch, has won an international competition at the Tallinn Architectural Biennale 2017 with his experimental pavilion. His adaptable, lego-like design proposes a series of discrete building blocks that can be assembled into a variety of structure. These building blocks are based on cheap, off-standard sheets of exterior plywood. The entire structure was fabricated locally in Tallinn, in collaboration with local manufacturers.
Gilles Retsin said of the project: "This pavilion wants to be understood as part of a larger whole, as a unit in a mass-housing system. The pavilion is never finished: its stackable and repeatable elements mean that it remains open and adaptable."
