On the Old Square in Falsterbo, a pine platform rests just above the ground. A floating volume lifts it upward along columns without foundations. If the IPCC’s climate scenario SSP5-8.5 comes to pass, the platform will have risen seven metres by 2126 – a silent yet moving climate instrument in the public realm.
– We wanted to make climate change comprehensible in everyday life, not as a forecast but as a spatial experience. By letting the pavilion move in time with the rising sea level, time becomes something that can be experienced, say Xawery Wierzbanowski and Sherwan Mato, architecture students at LTH.
The jury found the conceptual proposal thought-provoking and original, where poetic architecture functions as an instrument to make change visible.
