Art Shield Statue Conservation Pavilion

Art Shield Statue Conservation Pavilion is an innovative architectural solution designed for the preservation and protection of cultural monuments during harsh winter conditions while maintaining their visibility and cultural significance. This contemporary design approach, which won the Silver A' Design Award in the Cultural Heritage and Culture Industry Design category, represents a significant advancement in monument conservation methodology. The pavilion features a sophisticated parametric design utilizing steel structure and birch plywood roofing, complemented by transparent plexiglass facades that shield against adverse weather conditions while preserving visual access to the protected monument. Standing at 10.65 meters in height and occupying 112 square meters of floor area, the structure demonstrates exceptional engineering through its modular design that enables swift assembly, disassembly, and efficient storage between seasons. The pavilion's elliptical design and translucent characteristics were specifically engineered to harmonize with its urban surroundings while fulfilling its primary conservation function. This architectural innovation represents a departure from traditional conservation methods such as plastic or textile covers, offering instead a more sophisticated solution that combines practical preservation with aesthetic consideration. The structure's design incorporates advanced technological elements, including computer-aided parametric modeling and laser-cutting technology, while addressing complex logistical challenges related to transportation, assembly, and storage. Its reusable nature and careful consideration of monument protection regulations, municipal requirements, and fire safety standards make it a noteworthy example of sustainable cultural heritage preservation design.
