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’ve come to live in," he continued.</p>

Participants had to propose a sustainably designed pavilion for the Chart Art Fair's gastronomy partners and SPACE10 that considers upcycling and reusing materials, multifunctionality, and innovative fabrication methods. Most recently, five teams were announced as the finalists.</p></em><br /><br /><p>Here's a glimpse of the proposals:</p><p><strong>“Algae Dome” by Aleksander Wadas, Rafal Wroblewski, and Anna Stempniewicz</strong></p><p><img alt="" src="http://cdn.archinect.net/images/1010x/yb/ybvfji9gnprnhy20.jpg"></p><p><strong>“Paper Pavilion” by Kazumasa Takada, Yuriko Yagi and Yohei Tomioka</strong></p><p><img alt="" src="http://cdn.archinect.net/images/1010x/lb/lbjkv13mcb83fs4z.jpg"></p><p><strong>“Stick Box” by Miki Morita, Suguru Kobayashi and Keita Shishijima</strong></p><p><img alt="" src="http://cdn.archinect.net/images/1010x/bt/btasqqrqoc5sxofg.jpg"></p><p><strong>“Sunday Temple” by Mia Frykholm and Astrid Gabrielsson</strong></p><p><img alt="" src="http://cdn.archinect.net/images/1010x/la/layti8kukt49lzr9.jpg"></p><p><strong>“Adapt” by Harry Clover, Jack Cripps, Sebastian Gatz and Fabrian Puller</strong></p><p><img alt="" src="http://cdn.archinect.net/images/1010x/np/npel8649km2t5h8g.jpg"><br><em>All renderings © CHART ART FAIR.</em></p><p>Learn more about each project <a href="http://bustler.net/news/5618/from-ikea-bags-to-algae-to-trusty-ol-paper-here-are-the-2017-chart-architecture-finalist-proposals" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">on Bustler</a>.</p>
