B.2_Case Study 1.0 SPANISH_PAVILION ARCHITECT: Foreign Office Architects (FOA) Location: Haiki, Aichi, Japan Client: Spanish Society of International Exhibitions (SEEI) Year: 2005 Behind this geometric tessalating facade is the Spanish social ideal of ‘cultural hybridisation’. Referencing arches, vaults, lattices and traceries, this pavilion pays homage to a Spanish lineage of Christian and Islamic architecture. 1 Tessalating hexagonal ceramic tiles form the exterior of this pavilion. Seemingly non-repetitive, these colour coded tiles therefore represent this ideal of ‘cultural hybridisation’.2 In this pavilion we see architectural language being used to engage in a social, cultural or even religious discourse. As well as this, there is a nationalistic overtone using variations of red and yellow for the ceramic tiles (the spanish flag). The key material, ceramic is also widespread in Spain.

Generated by a circular plan, with a radial geometry, the building widens in profile as it rises and tapers towards its apex. This distinctive form responds to the constraints of the site: the building appears more slender than a rectangular block of equivalent size and the slimming of its profile towards the base maximises the public realm at street leve
