Viaticus

 

The temporary pavilion Viaticus, arises as a response to its placement, on the western patio of the Cordoaria Nacional building. Atelier JQTS designed a “superstructure” to host ARCO visitors, one of the world’s most relevant art fairs. Based on the image of a tower construction rising above the patio, the pavilion was conceived as a public space that invites people to come into contact with one another.
