Field Of Vision

The M Pavilion creator for 2018, architect Carme Pinós designs for light and the lay of the landscape.

- Karen Mccartney

IT DOESN’T TAKE LONG into a conversation with Spanish architect Carme Pinós to understand why she is the Naomi Milgrom Foundation’s choice to design the 2018 MPavilion in Melbourne’s Queen Victoria Gardens. She is much lauded in the architecture profession being both an Honorary Fellow of the American Institute of Architects (2011) and an RIBA International Fellow (2013) for her outstanding contribution to the profession. Coming after heavy hitters OMA – Rem Koolhaas and David Gianotten – whose 2017 pavilion has been permanently sited at Monash University, she is the fifth architect to be tapped on the shoulder for this commission.
