Precedent: MVRDV Expo 2000 Pavilion

This pavilion presents a different approach that could be taken to this project, that being rather than taking the architecture to nature, bring nature to the architecture. Although this is an interesting project, there is a secondary layer of analysis... currently the building lies in disrepair after abandonment. The ideals of this pavilion being converted to use as an office building failed due to one reason or another. This is an important take home message that sometimes even the best intentions can lead to ultimate failure.
