The project developed by Equipo 01 Architecture & Design for the Paradores Nacionales 2024 stand has as its main idea the sustainability and circularity of the elements used to assemble the pavilion. For this reason, the main material used is fishing nets, with the intention of reusing them in the REDEIRAS ATLAIA project in A Guarda, Pontevedra.
The pavilion is a room supported by columns and topped with a series of tensioned mesh conoids that, with the entry of light, generates an atmosphere similar to that of a blurred landscape, with a play of light and transparencies. The network sheet is developed inspired by the laminar structures of Frei Otto, so that the entire assembly acts simultaneously through the tension of the membrane. For its construction, masts hung from the upper structure and a grid hung with steel cables are used.

Description of project by Equipo 01 Architecture & Design
The design is based on the use of fishing nets that will later be reused in the “REDEIRAS ATLAIA” project in A Guarda. Pontevedra.
In this way, the company PARADORES NACIONALES is committed to the sustainability and circularity of all the materials used in the assembly of the pavilion.
A set of tensioned network conoids forms a hypostyle room that traps visitors in an atmosphere of light and transparencies.
It is built with poles suspended from the upper structure and a ceiling grid also suspended by steel cables.
The network membrane is patterned to ensure that the entire assembly works together through the tension of the sheet, in the manner of Frei Otto's sheet structures.
Light permeates the fabric, creating the sensation of passing through a blurry and magical landscape.
