	Pavilion is a word that can be associated with biennial-representation, cultural events and spectacular construction projects. The idea of Western Norway as a cultural center and the pavilion as form is a play with authority and bombastic ambitions. All places can become central through strategic work and branding. The fictional location for the pavilion is a pier in a port facility in Kinsarvik, Hardanger. The area has visual qualities that are a suitable framework for a pavilion. The shape of the pavilion is flirting with forms from famous international cultural buildings, while literally borrowing form from a main garment in the official Hardanger costume.
