Jury comment

The Living Pavilion existed, like a good conversation, for only a moment in time. Its influence, however, may extend beyond its physical manifestation.

The fleeting but memorable provocation was a temporary event space at the University of Melbourne for the 2019 Climarte festival. The methods and programming invited public interaction and the imagining of alternative futures (and pasts) for the site. A transdisciplinary effort, The Living Pavilion revealed the cultural significance and hidden ecologies of the university’s Parkville campus.

Data capture from the exhibition should provide aspirational “next steps” for future development, demonstrating that ecological expression can provide immediate, measurable benefits to human health.
