Everything from the wood, internal components, foam, metal, and fabric is used to construct the innovative pavilion.</p> <p>"The SULTAN project was a clear winner both because it is conceptually very strong and because its fabrication is very precise," said David Zahle from BIG, the chairperson of the competition jury. "Sultan raises a very important concern about how hard it is to recycle things in a modern society, because of the complexity of the society we&rsquo;ve come to live in," he continued.</p> <figure><p><a href="https://archinect.gumlet.io/uploads/1f/1f27d7ef80fca7c788f3939b682a30e6.jpg?auto=compress%2Cformat&amp;w=1028" target="_blank"><img src="https://archinect.gumlet.io/uploads/1f/1f27d7ef80fca7c788f3939b682a30e6.jpg?auto=compress%2Cformat&amp;w=514"></a></p><figcaption>Sultan pavilion.
