Leopold Banchini Architects draws on prehistoric civilisation for Asympta pavilion

Swiss studio Leopold Banchini Architects has created Asympta, a stone-and-wood pavilion that evokes the "unknown domestic architectures" of prehistoric societies in today's Sicily.

The temporary Asympta pavilion was designed in reference to the people who would have lived in the Syracuse-Pantalica area from the 13th to the 7th century BC, when the Necropolis of Pantalica was built.
