Temporary Pavilions Urban Laboratory: temporary Architecture Urban switch : A case in point is switch+, a two-storey, 12
meter high, temporary information pavilion designed by modulorbeat for the sculpture projects M端nster 2007 exhibition. The pavilion's gold- coloured exterior shell was made of perforated copper sheet and came to life in response to the Silberne Frequenz (i.e. Silvery Frequency) light installation created by Otto Piene on the facade of the adjacent building. Especially at night, when the pavilion was also illuminated from the inside, the interplay with the Silberne Frequenz installation created a particularly unique atmosphere. Acting as an "urban switch", a moving part of the pavilion was able to reroute pedestrian and bicycle traffic on the square, thus also transforming the use and perception of this public space http://www.goethe.de/kue/arc/dos/dos/sls/sdz/en3802817.htm
