The Arcelor Pavilion, designed for the 100th anniversary of Esch-sur-Alzette, Luxembourg, is a symbolic structure that celebrates the historical connection between the city and the steel industry. Developed as both an exhibition space and a future cultural venue, the pavilion serves as a dynamic gathering place for residents and visitors.
Inspired by the imagery of a blooming flower, the design integrates steel in a highly innovative and expressive manner, reflecting Arcelor’s commitment to sustainability and technological advancement. The structure is strategically located between a park pathway and a rewilded natural area, creating a seamless transition between urban and natural elements.
The elevated form of the pavilion generates a series of open-air patios that blur the boundaries between interior and exterior. These courtyards, combined with vibrant colors on the façade, create a playful and interactive environment. The project embodies the vision of “Steel Solutions for a Better World,” merging industrial heritage with contemporary architectural expression to redefine the role of steel in the urban landscape.
