Chilean studio Pezo von Ellrichshausen has erected a temporary wooden tower of “an ambiguous” scale in the Jardin des Tuileries in Paris.
Named the “Deci Pavilion,” the structure is made up of ten stacked octagonal wooden drums of decreasing size. While in reality only large enough to hold one visitor at a time, the column’s form and relationship to its surroundings give it the presence of a much larger structure.
Pezo von Ellrichshausen designed the pavilion for the 2016 edition of the annual International Contemporary Art Fair (FIAC), which has invited architects such as Kengo Kuma and Sou Fujimoto to create temporary structures in the Jardin des Tuileries.
