This very first Archifest Pavilion serves as an elegantly open platform for presentations, debates, assembly and exchange, and the venue for the official launch of the Festival on 12 October 2012. Over 80 VersiWeb panels were double-cladded over a metal skeletal frame to form the undulating walls of \u201c<strong>Wonder|Wall<\/strong>\u201d at the pavilion.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/elmich.com\/asia\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/News-Archifest12-02.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-8825\" src=\"http:\/\/elmich.com\/asia\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/News-Archifest12-02-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"News - Archifest12-02\" width=\"1000\" height=\"666\" srcset=\"https:\/\/elmich.com\/asia\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/News-Archifest12-02-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/elmich.com\/asia\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/News-Archifest12-02-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/elmich.com\/asia\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/News-Archifest12-02.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nInspiring curiosity, Wonder|Wall looks almost solid at certain angles, but when viewed perpendicularly, seems to merge with the surrounding buildings, and landscape. In close-up view, a watery or wavelike appearance is apparent due to the fluid nature of <strong>VersiWeb<sup>\u00ae<\/sup><\/strong> around the structure. The VersiWeb<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> on both sides of the structure provides natural ventilation, shade, and rain protection for the Pavilion due to its unique micro-climate formation feature in between the membranes. Its versatility also enhanced the usability and interaction of the Pavilion space featuring enclosed, semi-sheltered and open areas, as well as spacious, well-ventilated pathways that facilitate movement and interaction.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/elmich.com\/asia\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/News-Archifest12-03.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-8827\" src=\"http:\/\/elmich.com\/asia\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/News-Archifest12-03-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"News - Archifest12-03\" width=\"1000\" height=\"666\" srcset=\"https:\/\/elmich.com\/asia\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/News-Archifest12-03-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/elmich.com\/asia\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/News-Archifest12-03-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/elmich.com\/asia\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/News-Archifest12-03.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nWOW Architects\u2019 design shows that VersiWeb<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> can be applied in refreshing ways such as a vertical wall or any other display surface with \u201cpockets\u201d used for the conduct of various Festival activities.
