The Sonsbeek Pavilion

The Sonsbeek Pavilion – designed as a temporary space to house a series of smaller sculptures for 1966 sonsbeek exhibition – was open for a single summer only. it then took on a life of its own as a design in the form of a handful of photos, a plan drawing, a photo of a model, and a set of sketches. as a result, this key work in van eyck’s modest built oeuvre acquired the status of ‘paper architecture’ (known and discussed on account of the theoretical concept it embodies, but no longer experienced as a real spatial structure; unless, till the rebuilding).
