Pentad

UHA has designed Pentad.

In this project, UHA challenges the notion that "parliaments today are fortified spaces, monofunctional, inaccessible and largely devoid of public ownership" through antithesis, where the Pentad pavilion becomes about observation, participation, and belonging.

It experiments with wrapping, overlapping and stacking the five modes of parliamentary meeting within a single, reconfigurable pavilion.

A hidden system of talk tubes is woven through its structure, inviting visitors to listen, eavesdrop and interrupt, disrupting segregation and urging intergenerational interaction.

Pentad is both parliament and playground; it is a temporary installation with lasting cultural ambition, returning civic space to the people it was always meant to serve.
