Art Public Interest The Swiss artist Thomas Hirschhorn's "Gramsci Monument" is a pavilion at the Forest Houses in the Bronx, built in collaboration with its residents and produced by the Dia Art Foundation.
Levete described the pavilion as "a forest canopy in the heart of the city", which responds to Melbourne's unpredictable weather as it "moves with the wind rather than keeping it at bay".
Not that it would be any hardship spending all your time in your villa, what with your own Jacuzzi, infinity pool and dining pavilion overlooking indigenous forest and brilliant ocean.
Owned by the Groupe Floirat, known for Côte d'Azur hot spots like the Hôtel Byblos in St.-Tropez, the new forest hideaway of half-timbered pavilions is the group's first foray into northern France and its most unostentatious project.
According to Naomi Milgrom, who commissioned AL_A to design the pavilion, we can expect a "forest of dreams" and a "sound and light show each evening". .
The CCC planted large numbers of trees in the state forest, did work in the park, and built a pavilion at the site in 1936.
They'll double as amplifiers, and, adding to the forest feel, cast delicate leaf-like shadows onto the pavilion's floor.
Forest: Walking Among Trees by Matt Collins and Roo Lewis is published by Pavilion at £25.
In the Canadian Pavilion David Altmejd has created a surreal glass-and-mirror-lined forest filled with varied species of some 300 stuffed birds (some purchased on eBay), mushrooms, giant resin werewolves and male mannequins with bird's heads.
