Using analogue tools augmented with the precision of mixed reality environments, the designers were able to create the curved shape that makes the wood appear as if it’s flowing.

Each piece of wood used has been steam-bent to a specific shape, which was then attached to a frame.

The overall shape of the pavilion allows people to meander through it, exploring and experiencing the details of the design.
