Is it possible to build geometrically complex architecture using waste? This is the question our research team posed to a small group of students within an experimental workshop. Their answer has been a self-built pavilion with a tensile roof made of recycled cardboard. The design purpose was to provide a temporary structure that could act as a multi-religious building and host for one week several rituals and cultural activities. This building has been inaugurated, used and dismantled during the summer 2008. Besides providing a material answer to a multifaceted and not yet clearly expressed need, the design process has been seen as an experiment on how to conciliate simple techniques with complex geometries. Apparently a contrast.

Abstract
Is it possible to build geometrically complex architecture using waste? This is the question our research team posed to a small group of students within an experimental workshop. Their answer has been a self-built pavilion with a tensile roof made of recycled cardboard. The design purpose was to provide a temporary structure that could act as a multi-religious building and host for one week several rituals and cultural activities. This building has been inaugurated, used and dismantled during the summer 2008. Besides providing a material answer to a multifaceted and not yet clearly expressed need, the design process has been seen as an experiment on how to conciliate simple techniques with complex geometries.
