David Chipperfield and Antony Gormley's pavilion for the Kivik Art Centre in south-east Sweden has opened to the public.
The pavilion, which was constructed in only two months, is a sculpture made entirely of concrete.
It is formed of three interlocking 100cu m volumes, providing three different ways of experiencing the surrounding nature and landscape. The Cave is a solid space at the base of the sculpture that offers the feeling of being in a dark forest. On the first floor The Stage is a horizontal volume open to the landscape. Finally, The Tower takes the visitor up spiral stairs to a platform almost 18m above the ground to look out over the Baltic Sea.
