Once again, one year after realizing the first Yota Pavillion in 2013, External Reference Architects have been able to successfully produce an immersive experience to the visitors.
This year’s industry-defining event, Mobile World Congress, was once again hosted in
the Mobile World Capital Barcelona, at two world-class venues, Fira Gran Via and Fira
Montjuic. More than 85.000 attendees from over 200 countries were treated to a wealth of
learning and networking opportunities, product showcases and announcements, inspiration and innovation.
Also this year the main purpose of the booth is inducing a deep sensory experience through light, music and projections.
Above, a topographic ceiling generates an attractive, evocative call, punctuated by the
deep music rhythm. Below, an eroded landscape dialogues with the ceiling.
This techno landscape has two different natures:
1. Inside it is made of a series of ribbons and it is smooth, clear and sensual. It embodies all the needs of the Pavilion through simples ribbons deformations: size increasing for encapsulating the devices or size reduction for integrating the projection areas. Moreover this landscape cover the functional areas such as: technical rooms and two meeting rooms.
2. Outside it is the result of the erosion. A dark dotted surface whose pattern allows to
perceive the mesmerizing light effects of the inside.
All in all, the whole project should be thought of as a welcoming plaza where the visitors
can appreciate a sensorial experience and discover the new products showcased by
Yota Devices.
