MPavilion, created by the Naomi Milgrom Foundation, is a leading architectural commission. Annually, an acclaimed architect is engaged to design a pavilion in Melbourne to host a five-month design festival of free public events. To commemorate its tenth year, prolific Japanese architect Tadao Ando was invited to design MPavilion 10, his first ever Australian project. MPavilion 10 reflects Ando’s signature use of geometric interventions in nature and precise use of concrete. Conceived as a dynamic meeting place, Ando describes his design as a blank canvas, “an architecture of emptiness, that in its silence lets light and breeze enter and breathe life into it.
