The Belval Pavilion was announced to be one of the winners of the category Conceptual Architecture of the renowned German Design Awards. The pavilion and immersive installation were opened in 2023 with recreational and educational purposes at the site of this mineral water spring at Belval. In the early 20th century, it was known all over the world for its exceptional healing power. The BeBunch collective worked with architect-artist Laura Mannelli to unlock the history of the spring. The recreational environment also had to offer rest areas, a restaurant, and sanitary facilities. The installation consists of several round wooden pavilions and plateaus covered with parasols. Ney & Partners assisted the team in the structural studies of the pavilions as well as the design of the parasol structures. They consist of an undulating surface made of highly translucent fabric and features a supporting ‘spoke wheel’ suspended on the column, creating a distinctive visual. While providing weather protections to the visitors, the parasols serve as a focal point during recreational events, transforming into a lively stage when needed.
