Pavilhão VentoSul: arquitetura multifuncional para Bienal Internacional de Arte Contemporânea de Curitiba

Abstract

The present work brings a theoretical overview about the art pavilions and their use in major exhibition events, such as the Universal Exhibitions and the art biennials, as a basis for the proposal to create an exhibition pavilion for the Curitiba International Biennial, an event that happens every two years since 1993 in the capital of Paraná. The purpose of this research is to create a space that centralizes the art exhibition of Curitiba Biennial, besides assuming other cultural functions during and after the closing of the event. To reach this goal, the work comprises the understanding of the pavilion and its uses throughout history, especially in large exhibition events, in which it has become the main space for the presentations. In this sense, the main art biennials in the world and the way that they give function to the pavilions are analyzed. The Curitiba International Biennial is also analyzed from its materiality as one of the largest art events in Latin America, as well as its exhibition structure, which covers several urban spaces - such as museums, squares and other places of the city. This work also brings the case study of three pavilions and delimits the guidelines for the construction of the pavilion for Curitiba Biennial.
