The Pavilion 21 MINI Opera Space is one of the tiniest but most interesting designs by Wolf Prix for the Munich Opera Festival 2010 with a maximum seat capacity of 300 only. The designers have achieved a visually and acoustically pleasing lightweight structure through enhancing the visualizing properties of the tilted walls and enlarged surface area. Also, this design strategy reduces the influence of external sound sources. The pavilion is 17 meters wide, 21 meters long and around 6 to 8 meters high which will be placed in a way that it will act more like a sound reflector than a barrier to the passing by car’s sound.

FLUID is More Than Just a Tap

With ordinary taps, you may have to bend down your face or use a cup to rinse your mouth which is so inconvenient. Keeping this fact in mind, FLUID has been designed which is being considered as more than just a tap. When you will push down the nose of FLUID, you will be able to wash your hands and pushing up will lead the water upward with greater force. As a result you can easily rinse your face or simply drink some water. As you increase the pressure on the nose both up and down, the pressure of water rationally increases and water will stop in the level position.
