Always by surprise, some force of nature causes a catastrophe that leaves many human lives helpless. The design of a pavilion is requested: temporary, urban, innovative, sustainable, programmatic, interactive, open, recyclable, removable, replicable, and magnetic; capable of offering an architectural response to so much helplessness. And a basic system composed of two elements, crown and stem, is proposed. Each of them can operate separately, and together, forming the parade of argonauts, they will make up the suggested pavilion.

The cup is a light structure covered in sandbags that, properly replicated, can set up emergency camps. The stem is a solid prefabricated concrete that, alone, invites children to play. The Argonauts stop is a module that allows the temporary residence of people in transit and that can be located in any corner of the public space in order to minimize interference (reason for the chosen location).

The proposed program is simple: the authors commit to living in the Argonauts’ parade, in a regime of complete transparency, while the festival is being held, as well as to develop, below it, daily meetings related to the ethical commitment in teaching and in the practice of architectural project.

The foundations of the proposal are: to extend naturalism in response to the crisis of the Anthropocene, to offer a new urban sensitivity with a clear specific expression of affectivity to the most disadvantaged, to trace a fold of indigenous roots in the global disciplinary body, to extend the commitment even the ecosystem.
