Humanity's greatest achievement has perhaps been our ability to communicate. Language and symbolism are two main carriers of human capability to communicate, and they both operate under abroad notion known as abstraction. To really make another life form understand our way of thinking, we need to edify the other life form about what “abstraction” is (to us). The solid forms in the pavilion are indicative of “abstraction”. Abstraction -in itself- disengages the signified from the sign, in the same way that we perceive the world as what we are, and not what it is. Therefore, the notion of abstraction could introduce the possibility of (mis)understandings between us and them.  

Following form, through space we can exemplify ‘how’ we are able to think and communicate about such unknowns with one another. To represent all of humanity's greatest achievements in a single structure/pavilion, for learning purposes of other life forms, is probably going to be a failure; in a sense that it will most likely have huge shortcomings in respect to the rich history and accomplishments of our specie. Instead, much like The Pioneer Plaques, we can perhaps confer the greatest existential questions brought up by specie with this project; the questions of “who are we” and “why are we” have been humanities most difficult and intrinsic to answer yet. The upside-down pyramidal void that takes away from the city escape, with steps on the periphery as seating, is the essence of the project which deals directly with those fundamental questions, by generating a space known as ‘radical passive’. The radically passive space is meant to specifically point to the unknown and our inability to have any definite answer for ourselves.
