The PAVILION of Festival des Architectures Vives
For the 2011’s edition, we set up for the first time a welcome pavilion of the FAV. This pavillon allow the public to get informations on the festival, the schedule and also to be able to buy the books of the previous editions. It is also the point of departure of the Festival’s path. Because of its placed in the heart of the city of Montpellier, between the main streets, the pavilion offers an important visibility for the setting-up of the festival.
This project was able to be born thanks to a partnership of company realized with the company Eco-emballage then with the companies Adelphe, Construire Acier, Verre Avenir, KDI, Pernod Ricard and Coca-Cola. It is also for it that we chose to position it in the courtyard of the Chamber of commerce and industry of Montpellier, in the heart at the same time of the city and the companies.
For year 2012, we wished to entrust the realization of the pavilion to the young collective of architects
" Atelier Vecteur " installed in Montpellier and which had also taken part in the competition in 2011.
The objective of the pavilion is identical:
- be the place of welcome and information,
- the meeting point and departure of the path as it is easily recognizable,
- make the link with the previous years in images and by the presentation of the books of
the FAV since 2006.
But it will also be:
- the place of the vote of the public for the best installation,
- the place of the handing of the Jury’s and public’s prize.
Meet at the PAVILION FAV June 6 to 17, 2012 from 9am to 18pm!
