Smell pavilion
The pavilion’s internal lighting system integrates micro-LEDs within the perforated membrane, creating a soft, diffused glow. Controlled by smart sensors, it adapts in real time to environmental light conditions modulating intensity and tone. This ensures minimal energy consumption while offering an immersive, dynamic and evocative experience, transforming it into a luminous beacon in the night.
Five pentagonal stations host selected artworks, each protected by barriers that invite visitors to pause. Here, art meets nature: the experience unfolds between the contemplation of the works and the fragrances of carefully chosen plants and flowers, creating a space of pause, reflection and sensory harmony.
Kinetic art and botany converge in this sensorial oasis, where aromatic, neuro-modulating plants infuse life into moving sculptures, creating a regenerative olfactory journey that restores balance and deepens our connection with nature.
Nose-inspired seating translates scent into form. Its flowing silhouette mirrors the path of inhalation, complementing the pavilion’s kinetic sculptures and neuro-modulating aromatic plants that restore sensory balance and evoke memory.
