Concrete Pavilion competition winners explore the material's potential

The results are in for Buildner's recent Concrete Pavilion competition, inviting participants to explore concrete "not just as a structural solution but as a medium for innovation, expression, and experimentation."

The brief asked architects and designers to envision a temporary or permanent structure no larger than 50 square meters (538 square feet), considering the sensory and tactile qualities of concrete, while providing both a functional exhibition space and serving as a sculptural object. One key expectation was incorporating sustainable design strategies to minimize the material's environmental impact.
