Asplund Pavilion

The Asplund Pavilion, located on the island of San Giorgio Maggiore in Venice, Italy, is a remarkable installation art structure built in 2018 for the 16th Venice Biennale. Designed by architects Francesco Magnani and Traudy Pelzel, it serves as part of the Vatican Chapels project, which explores contemporary interpretations of sacred spaces. Inspired by the Woodland Chapel in Stockholm, the Pavilion is constructed entirely of wood and features a unique design that reflects both traditional and modern architectural elements. Visitors can experience its serene atmosphere and view original drawings and models by the architect Erik Gunnar Asplund, making it a significant site for both tourists and researchers interested in architecture and contemporary art.
