Energy Crisis and Resource Crisis forces us, now more than ever, to revise our strategies. No client and designer can ignore this new territory. Indoor spaces and exhibitions are no exception to this reality. More than 80 fairs per year, involving more than 20,000 companies occupying a total area of more than 1,200,000 m2 each year in this Exhibition venue. Floor is received and should be left blank, before and after each show, this means that are used and disposed over 1,200,000 square m2 annually of textile floor. Considering that most of the textile floor (carpet exhibition, rubber flooring, vinyl, etc ...) is served in rolls, each roll covering approximately 120 m2 and each roll cores are 600 gr paper / m2 (cardboard) disposed over 10,000 paperboard rolls along the 80 annual fairs.

The aim of this project is to use only wasted material (cardboard tubes) to build a 100% sustainable pavilion that can be reused, that exploits the spatial and architectural possibilities offered by this strategy, and create an exhibition space and connection according to customer needs. A triple ring with different privacy degrees depending on the separation of cardboard tubes: The outer ring (Exhibition) - a perimetric ramp housing developments and solutions SIKA - inner ring (Social)- which houses the commercial meeting spaces and restoration - and the ring that houses the store. The other condition is given formally by Venue rules, requiring setbacks of 1 m to reach 6 m tall. All areas, including floors and ceilings follow this philosophy. To achieve the characteristic yellow color of SIKA, and maintain ecological commitment there is no chemical painting, the colour is achieved with light (a system of yellow fluorescent following the curves of the morphology and setbacks the stand, creating an atmosphere of color in a row 100% recyclable cardboard.
