MPavilion

The 2015 MPavilion by Amanda Levete

MPavilion is a temporary pavilion in Queen Victoria Gardens, Melbourne, erected annually since 2014. The event is sponsored by philanthropist Naomi Milgrom.[1] Initially the project was planned for four years, but later it was extended by another two, until 2019. It is used for various art events, after which each pavilion is gifted to the city and moved to a permanent location.[2]

The first pavilion was designed by Sean Godsell, and was later relocated to the Hellenic Museum.[3] The second pavilion was designed by UK-based architect Amanda Levete in 2015, and later relocated to Docklands.[3] The third pavilion was a bamboo structure designed by Bijoy Jain of Studio Mumbai,[4] later relocated to the Melbourne Zoo.[2] In 2017, the pavilion was designed by Rem Koolhaas and David Gianotten, and is OMA's first completed design in Australia.[5] The 2018 pavilion will be designed by Spanish architect Carme Pinós.[6]
