The Vita Pavilion, unfolding as a direct continuation of Resonance idea—the award-winning pavilion built entirely from reclaimed construction materials and honoured with a Special Mention in the Sustainable Cultural Buildings category of the Architizer A+ Awards. It deepens the bureau’s exploration of circular architecture, revealing how sustainable principles can inform structures that are both aesthetically compelling and functionally efficient. Presented at the ArchMoscow International Exhibition of Architecture and Design, the project acted as a spatial glossary: a minimal, modular environment that embodied key architectural terms through the physical language of reuse.
Long timber beams, silver-stained and set on chunky timber plinths, establish parallel runs of seating whose minimalist joinery lets them rotate into a bar counter after dark—proof that adaptability can be inherent to tectonics, not tacked on as an extra feature.
The floor was assembled from large-format terrazzo slabs, cast using a mix of surplus ceramic fragments sourced from multiple sites. Set in a distinctive blue matrix, these irregular pieces form a layered surface of material memory—each shard a trace of another project, now recontextualized into a unified whole. Designed to live on after the event, these panels are already destined for integration into private interiors, rearticulating the pavilion’s visual identity in future contexts.
Nothing in the pavilion is fixed; everything is intended to be disassembled, reassembled, and repurposed. In this sense, the space transcends the category of temporary installation: it operates as a logistical model for circular construction at developer scale, foregrounding a methodology where architectural precision is achieved through surplus, not despite it.
The pavilion became an active setting for discussions on global urban and architectural trends, and public art, reinforcing the idea that its own architecture was both stage and subject. Reuse functioned as the project’s structural imperative, turning excess into framework and framework into meaning. Through this gesture, the project extends the ambitions of Resonance, suggesting that sustainable architecture at the scale of development is not only possible, but urgent, poetic, and precise.
