The Public Escapades project allows people to discover hidden parts of Trenčín through interactive installations and playful architectural interventions in public spaces. This adventurous project connects the history and the present of the city. The natural environment around the Váh river inspires the design of the individual interventions, which combine architecture, design and a multi-genre programme. The project creates new spaces for spending time in nature, public gatherings and interactive activities.
The pavilion consists of a shell resting on several slender columns, constructed from wide metal strips that interweave radially to form a porous roof structure. The openings let light through, while the steel strips simultaneously function as shading louvers.
It is an imprint of Unio Tectum, together conceptually forming a closed shell. The roof thus becomes a seating object, expanding scale-like towards the edges at varying heights and densities, creating a playful space for sitting.
In this case, the shell is positioned vertically and functions as a backrest, screen, or partition. The contour-like growth is transformed into a digital parameter that generates varying densities, incorporating curved structural ribs.
The fourth object is a combination of the previous approaches to creating organic geometry. It employs the curving of slender profiles and regular reinforcement with ribs into a rounded form resembling a ring, with a subtle topography and an open space in the centre of the structure for various types of activities.
