This symposium and open discussion will highlight the crucial role pavilions play in architectural practice, research and teaching: as tools for experimentation, research inquiry, and enhancing community engagement and belonging.

The international research group DELIGHT explores pavilion design and construction using digital technologies and biomaterials in low-cost, low-carbon and lightweight structures to reactivate public spaces.
