How can we manifest equality, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) through architecture? We answer this question by proposing a minimal frame; a blank canvas where the architectural design disappears, and the pavilion becomes a landmark exclusively through the community´s intervention. The project is a single floor enclosure that creates a continuous interior space that acts as a canvas for individual users to rearrange and reconfigure to fit their specific needs. The furniture is mobile and the partitions, adaptable, creating a dynamic space filled with expression. The user becomes an actant in the space, creating an ever-evolving interior at any time and for any use.
