Ideas Drawn
Buzzi, Vittorio Gregotti, Meneghetti, Stoppino
This Pavilion evoke emotions on its appearance with smart but singular design where portable systems with lightweight structures fit perfectly on this scenario. This was the Pavilion of Industry at the 3rd Novara Trade Fair designed by Franco Buzzi Cerian,Vittorio Gregotti, Lodovico Meneghetti and Giotto Stoppino. Celebrated in Novara, Italy in 1953.
These kind of installations resembles a complete representation of modern construction techniques where their appearance of lightweight structures, to their capacity for fast dismantling and portability complete a singular landscape for a trade fair celebrated in a park.
The organizers of trade fairs imposed strict budgetary guidelines where pavilions were assembled with hire material, henced the use of recyclable materials, and had to be dismantled inmediately after the trade fair closed. The pavilions were built of metallic pipe structures with articulated joints, structures in wood, roofing in canvas, or transparent plastics and aluminium, coated with Masonite panels.

The creative person is willing to live with ambiguity. He doesn’t need problems solved immediately and can afford to wait for the right ideas.
