Interview: Amanda Levete

Situated in Melbourne’s Queen Victoria Gardens, the MPavilion, now in its second year, is Australia’s answer to the Serpentine Pavilion. This year AL_A, the studio of Amanda Levete has created a grouping of plant-like stems topped with a translucent canopy, all of which sways in the wind. Embedded speakers turn the pavilion into an ambient soundscape, and at night LED’s create a dreamy space of dappled light.

In the video below, produced exclusively for the Architectural Review, Amanda Levete talks through the inspiration behind the ‘forest canopy’ design.
