The architectural pavilion titled Green Ladder has been created by one of the world’s ‘edgiest architects’ – Vo Trong Nghia (New York Post 2015) and will be on public display at SCAF from 7 July to 10 December 2016.  Award-winning architect, Vo Trong Nghia will be in Sydney for the opening of Green Ladder and will present a talk at SCAF during the opening week.

SCAF’s Fugitive Structures now in its fourth and final year, was the first series in Australia to explore the potential of temporary pavilions as tools for experimentation and for investigating new architectural concepts. Dr Gene Sherman, Executive Director of SCAF comments: “The design of this final SCAF pavilion centres around two central pillars of Vo Trong Nghia’s approach to architecture: the innovative use of bamboo, and his passion – and self imposed duty – to green the world’s urban landscapes with plants and vegetation.”

Vo Trong Nghia Architects Green Ladder is constructed to resemble a dense green forest, and to raise awareness of bamboo’s strength and viability as a ‘green steel’ building material.  SCAF visitors will be able to enter and hide amongst the elegant grid-like bamboo construction of the pavilion.
