Positioned between a hard concrete pier and the seasonally changing riverbank, the pavilion reclaims an area once used for bathing and now reduced to a transient corridor.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The structure is built in collaboration with students from the Faculty of Architecture at CESUGA (<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/cesuga.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Centro de Estudios Universitarios de Galicia<\/a><\/strong>), combining prefabrication in A Coru\u00f1a with on-site assembly in Logro\u00f1o. During its construction, the design adapted further in response to how the site was already being used. The team added a second bench to accommodate canoeists who used the platform to prepare equipment and instruct newcomers.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>After the festival\u2019s conclusion and the dismantling of all temporary works, Habitar el R\u00edo was relocated to the village of Viniegra de Abajo, along the river Urbi\u00f3n in the mountains near Logro\u00f1o, where it continues to serve as a modest retreat by the water.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1148371 size-full lazyload\" alt=\"shaded wooden pavilion by erazo pugliese reclaims neglected dock along river in spain\" width=\"818\" height=\"629\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/shaded-wooden-pavilion-erazo-pugliese-neglected-dock-river-spain-designboom-02.jpg\"  data- loading=\"lazy\"\/><br \/>Habitar el R\u00edo is installed along the edge of the Ebro River in Logro\u00f1o, Spain<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"wood and textile installation reconnects river and city during concentrico 2025 6\" width=\"818\" height=\"1227\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/wood-and-textile-installation-reconnects-river-and-city-during-concentrico-2025-6-688f749874fe9.jpg\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\" lazyload\"\/><br \/>Erazo Pugliese creates a shaded pavilion for rest, observation, and exchange<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"wood and textile installation reconnects river and city during concentrico 2025 3\" width=\"818\" height=\"1227\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/wood-and-textile-installation-reconnects-river-and-city-during-concentrico-2025-3-688f749874f3f.jpg\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\" lazyload\"\/><br \/>designed for Conc\u00e9ntrico 2025, the annual International Festival of Architecture and Design<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"wood and textile installation reconnects river and city during concentrico 2025 9\" width=\"818\" height=\"1227\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/wood-and-textile-installation-reconnects-river-and-city-during-concentrico-2025-9-688f7498750c5.jpg\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\" lazyload\"\/><br \/>a second bench accommodates canoeists who used the platform to prepare equipment<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"pavilion by Erazo Pugliese reactivates urban riverfront \u00a0 Installed along the edge of the Ebro River in Logro\u00f1o,&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":318487,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5312],"tags":[17020,2000,299,104,10489,8732],"class_list":{"0":"post-318486","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-spain","8":"tag-architecture-in-spain","9":"tag-eu","10":"tag-europe","11":"tag-spain","12":"tag-temporary-pavilions","13":"tag-wood-and-timber-architecture-and-design"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114973386228715938","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/318486","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=318486"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/318486\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/318487"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=318486"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=318486"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=318486"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
