The mateRAmmed Pavilion is located in the historic Sassi of Matera, a UNESCO World Heritage site. The pavilion functions as a space for outdoor exhibitions, designed to interact with its environment. Its concept revolves around a series of raw earth arches that blend modern design with the traditional cave dwellings of the area.

Structural Elements
The raw earth arches define the pavilion's form. These arches provide both support and aesthetic value, contributing to an interesting spatial quality. The use of raw earth ensures a connection to the landscape. It creates an experience that feels grounded and natural.

Contextual Significance
Positioning the pavilion in front of the Sassi of Matera enhances the cultural importance of the site. This location allows visitors to appreciate both the contemporary design and the rich history of the area. The combination of modern architecture and ancient structures invites a deeper understanding of the region’s unique character.

Future Development Potential
The design includes the possibility for future development over an underground cave, common in the Matera region. This flexibility allows the pavilion to adapt and grow as needs change. It becomes more than just a space for exhibitions; it can evolve with the landscape, creating opportunities for new interactions.

The raw earth arches not only shape the pavilion's structure but also invite visitors to connect with their surroundings. The design encourages an exploration of both the building and the natural environment, fostering a sense of unity between the two.
