The MPavilion, designed by Japanese architect Tadao Ando, was erected in Melbourne as part of an annual architectural commission. Originally intended as a temporary structure, it broke attendance records with over 300,000 visitors in its extended first season. The pavilion, characterized by minimalistic design and a dialogue between architecture and nature, has become a cultural hub, hosting public events and talks. Naomi Milgrom, the initiative's founder, sought to integrate architecture into daily life, emphasizing its emotional resonance. The pavilion's future remains uncertain pending a city official decision scheduled for June 2024.
'A dialogue between architecture and nature,' Ando said of his design in 2023. It also spoke to the publicâto date more than 300,000 people have stepped inside.
Architecture is not just seen but felt as part of everyday life'âMilgrom explains her vision for the MPavilion project.
