Phantoms that often pique curiosity, the “ielele” are charming creatures of the air that gather in dance in the midst of nature. Surrounded by mystery, they are known as malevolent fairies, and encountering them is unfortunate. Translating the mystery surrounding the story of the “iele” and the charm of mythology into an architectural language, seeks to create sensations along the exhibition route by juxtaposing contrasts. From interior to exterior, from heavy to light, from opaque to transparent and their interpenetration.
The central space of the pavilion is represented by the intermediate floor, a sensory garden above which translucent volumes float, joining in a dance like the “iele”, among which, through transparency, light enters this core, creating a ghostly atmosphere.
The route consists of sequentially juxtaposing interior spaces with exterior spaces, the endpoint being represented by the translucent volumes that embody the transition between the two extremes.
The exhibition is represented by the last two levels of the pavilion where the strict paths of vertical circulations interpenetrate with the free ones, where each corner of the garden represents an opportunity to interact with the exhibits.
