Poetry in Architecture


When I wanted to know how can I make a poem in visual, I found this beautiful structure of pavilion which represent poems.



British set designer Es Devlin has been chosen to create the UK Pavilion at the Dubai Expo 2020, with a performative structure that will use artificial intelligence to write poems.
Called the Poem Pavilion, the structure will be the first UK Pavilion created by a female designer. It will feature an illuminated "message to space" made up of numerous AI-generated poems, which the Expo's anticipated 25 million visitors will be invited to contribute to.

The 20-metre-high, cone-shaped pavilion will be made up of rows of protruding slats that extend outwards from one central point to form a circular facade. Poems lit up in LEDs will scroll across the facade.

Visitors will enter the building from below the cone through an illuminated Maze of Aspiration. Featuring augmented reality-enhanced exhibitions, the maze transforms the queue – which Expo visitors often complain about – into a virtue, using it to entertain and educate visitors while they explore Britain's advances in artificial intelligence and space technology.
