Competition Entry, 2020
No Arc is an island!
Our proposal aspires to utilise the power of architecture to communicate, on many levels, the ever-dire threats we face today. We strongly believe that solutions to global warming can only be reached collectively. No Arc design represents multiplicity and bottom-up engagement. Its taffrail, formed by many individual slats, leads you to the top deck where a pleasant sunset over London or - possibly - a moment of reflection on raising water levels could be experienced.
No Arc aspires to attract visitors to engage within the public realm and shuns away from doom merchandising.
Interior of the pavilion functions as a space for gathering, where ideas to challenge the current norms and authorities can ignite. The monolith mast is the catalyst for revolution. It encourages development through externalising the obstacles we face internally, albeit with good humour and playfulness.
