Text description provided by the architects. SCENIUS 26003 is the winning proposal developed by Daryan Knoblauch for a 10-year infrastructural adaptation plan for the city of Logroño. The competition entry received the first prize after an open call launched by Concéntrico and Porto Academy. The Berlin-based studio foresees using temporal pavilions within a biyearly rhythm across the next decade.

The Megaphone Pavilion is a prototypical act of SCENIUS 26003, an architecture of movement. The Pavilion is constructed out of a fifteen-meter-high custom knit tensile structure, fixed to a singular mounting point of a rented crane, whose arm rises above the surrounding trees, while seven locally sourced stones define the perimeter of an existing void that the fabric is connected to.

It can react to various morphologies of the city due to its flexible tensile structure. Its continuous silver textile marks a 250 square meter temporary shelter with a height of 15 meters, producing a meeting point under which local and external voices are heard, amplified, and connected.

Rather than treating the pavilion as a fixed object, the designers approached it as a responsive membrane—an atmospheric device that negotiates between architecture, climate, and collective occupation. The large-scale tensile structure is suspended by a rented crane and anchored by eight locally sourced rocks, positioned within the urban forest of Logroño.

The materiality of the fabric—its capacity to billow, breathe, and reflect light—creates a dynamic relationship with wind, sunlight, and the bodies that gather beneath it.

The mobile tensile structure is defined by its lightness, contrasting the stoic grandeur of the surroundings. It is completely constructed through devices that we can find on the street, with alternative construction materials.
