Dulwich Pavilion 2019: The Colour Palace
Friday 21st June 2019.
Prowood are delighted to have supplied over 1800lm of machined, precision x-cut, structurally graded & factory finished Imported North American Clear Douglas Fir to the prestigious "Colour Palace" project at the Dulwich Picture Gallery in London.
The Colour Palace is a 10-metre-high cube with a bold geometric pattern, standing on four huge red cylinders. At its core is an atrium, creating an arena where visitors can view the structure from many different perspectives, including from an interior raised viewing platform.
Free and open to the public throughout the summer months, The Colour Palace is a fusion of West African and European influences, inspired by the buzz of fabric markets in Lagos, Nigeria, and incorporating symmetry, curves and right-angles – all elements present in Sir John Soane’s iconic 1811 design of the Gallery. On each side of the Pavilion, brightly coloured timber slats create layers that shift when viewed from different angles, bringing the Gallery’s grounds into technicolour life.
In partnership with the London Festival of Architecture 2019.
