It spreads knowledge about cities between cities.
As it moves from inner city Sydney, to a plaza in Izumo, to streets or squares in Shanghai, Delhi, and San Jose it connects local creativity to a global audience.
pixel.nest displays examples of urban creativity from its host cities. It encourages debate, entrepreneurship, global connectivity and mobility in an immersive spatial environment.
It also hosts parties, events and designer talks, sparking new international design interactions.
pixel.nest will be featured in the 2007 UTS Architecture Exhibition, before being re-assembled in Japan where the digital interface will be designed at Tohoku University.
From Tohoku it will travel to Izumo City in Japan, and to a number of cities internationally, where it will host the CitySwitch series of design workshops and events.
Ideas and designs are displayed via the pavilion to subsequent cities, and globally via the digital interface, generating an ongoing physical discourse on design.

The pavilion form is a folded mobius loop skin consisting of 3d pixels generated from advanced computer modelling. These pixels are made of interlocking facets of lightweight polycarbonate and will have digital imagery projected onto them through an interactive media system.
