Pavilon A, Exhibition pavilion in Brno-střed, Czech Republic.
Pavilion A is an exhibition pavilion within the Brno Exhibition Centre, featuring large glass walls that allow natural light to fill its interior. The building offers generous exhibition spaces and connects through passage systems to other halls within the complex.
The pavilion was built in the 1920s as an Industry and Commerce building under architects Josef Kalous and Josef Valenta. Its construction employed innovative techniques that allowed the work to be completed in a remarkably short timeframe.
This pavilion serves as a central meeting place for the exhibition centre, where local artistic work connects with international innovations. Visitors experience throughout the year how the region shares and showcases its creative work with the world.
The pavilion has an entrance rotunda that can accommodate many visitors at once, with multiple connected exhibition areas. The passage system makes it easy to move between the different sections throughout the building.
The building rests on parabolic support arches, a structural solution that combines elegance with strength. This design choice often goes unnoticed, yet it defines how the pavilion stands and functions.
