Text description provided by the architects. The pavilion's original minimalist beauty of Pavilon Z in Budweis, Czech Republic, was restored. As a result, the building, which used to open to the public only a few times a year for the most prominent Czech agriculture fair, now serves the public as a space for concerts, balls, conferences, theatre, and visual arts events. The key new feature of the black-and-white technologically sophisticated pavilion is its multifunctionality and ability to adapt to a wide variety of programs quickly.
At first glance, the pavilion looks clean and unified from the outside. While concrete floors and the latest technology dominate the interior, the exterior is minimalist. The lower two floors are airy. The striking minimalism is emphasised by the LAMBERTS LINIT®EcoGlass wall, which creates pleasant colour effects on the exterior. A seemingly heavy roof mass is set on the subtle lower floors. Somewhat unconventionally, however, it is finished in white. Everything is thus perfectly unified.
