Pavilions, 1939 → 2039

Pavilion 2039 — an android visitor walking the terracotta pavilion in real time

Pavilion 2039 — explored on foot, in real time

A metaverse pavilion — ‘breathe soul into voxels’ — a space to hold family history and future memory.

A personal venture: a pavilion in the lineage of the great world's fairs, carried forward to 2039. Terracotta walls, floating stairs, galleries of objets d'art — modelled, lit and made walkable in Unity.
