NTT Pavilion

NTT Pavilion

Theme:Parallel Travel

A Pavilion where visitors travel across space and time.
Spatial transfer technology utilizing the IOWN next-generation telecommunications infrastructure connects remote locations and spaces together.
It makes it possible to share an environment beyond physical distance and to truly sense each other’s presence.
This vision of the future of communication is presented as an interactive exhibition experience.

OVERVIEW

The NTT Pavilion offers three zones showcasing futuristic visions of communication.

In the evolution of communication, there remain divides that cannot be crossed.
What about the emotions and sensations that lie beyond technology?

Zone 2

What if those divides could be crossed?
When time and space merge into one,new sensations begin to emerge.

Architectural ConceptEmotional architecture

A Pavilion that floats gently and lightly.
Open like a park, it brings together greenery, light, sky, visitors, wanderers, and countless overlapping moments.
Thread-like structures emit sound, while cloth swaying in the wind creates shade to gently cover people.
They respond to feelings and excitement with vibrations, making the entire Pavilion ripple as though it were a living being with emotions.
Human presence, the shifting of nature, the subtleties of emotion, and the behaviour of the digital.
All diverse, yet all as one.
An architecture of coexistence, wrapped in emotion.
