Entry Description

Built in the 1970�s, modified in the 2000�s, closed in 2014 by seismic concerns, the Trafalgar Centre is Nelson�s primary indoor events centre.
ISA has guided strengthening, master-planned connections to the city, and added a new entry pavilion as transition between garden and venue.
A public building must support many uses, indoor sport, concerts, conferences, weddings, political rallies, even fashion shows. This new pavilion has no function, but houses every function; it is black, glazed, horizontal, collects the public and runs low into the verticality and noise of the stadium.
