Searching for an architect again, a different kind of architect from Ando and Nouvel, I went to visit the office of Christian Wassmann.
I found him at his desk, playing with a little model he made himself by copying Le Corbusier's ‘Philips Pavilion’. This was a happy coincidence because the ‘Philips Pavilion’ was one of my inspirations for the Internet Pavilion.
The quest of the Philips Pavilion, was to build some kind of "space that HAS to meet with music". A space that “becomes” music...
- I also want to turn real space into internet, I said to Christian.. I am dreaming of an Internet Pavilion that's huge-in terms of space- and at the same time extremely portable. Can you do it?
