Together with Thijs Brienen we entered a competition to design a Tolerance Pavilion on the Red Square in Moscow. However, due to the grand urban scale a bigger approach was necessary. Since the vastness of the Red Square, a pavilion can easily be overlooked, or, even worse, simply be ignored. By creating an expo, visitors to Lenin’s Mausoleum and the GUM (Moscow’s biggest warehouse), are now drawn into the expo.
By placing eight volumes around the Lenin Mausoleum, the mausoleum itself becomes part of the tolerance question.
