Plinthos Pavilion is an interactive architectural space that was exhibited in the Interior Design Show (ID10), during 26-29 of November 2010, in Metamorphosis, Athens and in the Athens Biennale in 2012. The concept and the design of the construction was made from mabarchitects, and the interactive system installation, programming, and media design by Stavros Didakis. Plinthos consists of an architectural structure with an embedded sensorial skin, which allows it to transform into a space of inner discovery and a subliminal exploration of the self. Its structure invites visitors to navigate within thousands of perforations and multiple media layers that blend harmoniously and create a performative and responsive architectural installation, triggering intimacy through masterfully articulated poetic (media) expressions. Each layer is responsible for a particular outcome; however, elements inter-communicate with each other when necessary to exhibit an orchestrated synthesis as one of the structure’s fundamental extensions.
