Egaligilo is an installation that represents the tension between traditional and parametric architecture, symbolizing an equalizer of forces. It preserves a natural environment, creating its own microclimate and maintaining a series of atmospheric conditions, allowing light and rain to seep inside, keeping the plants alive. It is in constant interaction with its surroundings as it blends in with the public space, allowing visitors to be in contact with nature. The pavilion also seeks to raise awareness about reutilizing ephemeral structures and now is being adapted for another purpose.
