CHART Architecture 2021 featured on Dezeen
CHART is delighted to announce that Leverage designed by Rumgehør, is the winner of the 2021 CHART Architecture competition.
The winning team was selected from five finalists who each designed and created a temporary pavilion in response to the theme of Social Architecture. The finalists presented new ideas on how architecture can be a powerful tool for creating collective spatial experiences. After a year of social distancing, the finalists’ pavilion designs explore ways to encourage people to come together again and share common physical experiences.
“The level of quality this year is extremely high, both creatively and in terms of execution,” says Bjarke Ingels (BIG), chairman of the jury, and highlights Leverage's playful use of dunnage bags as primary material and that “the entire pavilion weighs less than 50 kilos – you can crumple it together, put it in a suitcase and take it with you."

Designed by the Danish studio Rumgehør, made up of Rasmus R.B. Maabjerg, Nikolaj Noe, and Victor Tambo, Leverage investigates the perfect leverage between social interactions and temporary architecture. The playful and experimental pavilion uses moveable dunnage bags to create a light and futuristic structure, and provides users with the ability to reorganise the 16m2 space in many ways, and create intimate spaces of all kinds.

Designed by Diana Claudia Mot, Marius Mihai Ardelean, Claudia Lavinia Cimpan, and Mihkel Pajuste, who make up guilt.studio, OM is a pavilion of suspended aluminium ventilation ducts. The interaction between the tall structural elements creates unexpected, sensory experiences. The wind becomes sound, voices are echoed, rain is redirected, and light is reflected.
