It is a temporary pavilion in the Queen Victoria Gardens that for four months, from October 9, 2018 to February 3, 2019, in the main park of the city, aims to become a public space that encourages debate.
The 2017 MPavilion was the work of OMA by Rem Koolhaas and David Gianotten
The sculptural design of Carme Pinós consists of an open intervention, composed of two pieces supported by a central steel structure. Two large areas of wood slats intersect to form the roof, generating an open space that connects the MPavilion with the city. The structure reminds folded forms of origami, facilitating the relationships between the material, the environment and the human scale. The topographic alterations form three mounds where the stands are located.

"The MPavilion 2018 is a space designed for people to experience with all their senses; to establish a relationship with nature, but also for social activities. I try to design places where movements and roads intersect and exchange; spaces in which people identify themselves as part of a community, but at the same time feel that they belong to universality," said Carme Pinós.
The election of the program of activities that, under the thematic axis "Women leaders", will gather up to February in this space to outstanding intellectuals and professionals of the world of the architecture, the show, the fashion, the science, the art, the technology and the music.
In the words of Naomi Milgrom, creator of the foundation that bears her name and that annually commissioned the design of the MPavilion, "Carme Pinós' philosophy of commitment to the community reflects very well the mission of the MPavilion to facilitate a meaningful dialogue on paper. of design and architecture, and what it means to promote socially inclusive cities in the context of design and the built environment".
