MMeets
V-Pavilion Competitive Picnic

Free!

This event is now complete. If you want to revisit the talk, visit our Library, or subscribe to the MPavilion podcast via iTunes, Pocketcasts, Stitcher, Spotify, or wherever else you get your podcasts.

Join us to develop an unsolicited proposal for the 2024 iteration of the MPavilion: V-Pavilion. A design using only vegetables.

The pavilion designs will be developed to epitomise and illustrate a welcoming urban design concept. A Farm-To-Plinth design proposal that can critique Melbourne’s built form and articulate fresh ideas.

The hands-on workshop will be a design competition meets casual picnic. Join your friends and others to compete and develop concepts for a future pavilion!

This event arose from discussions between Niyanta and Mike about the usefulness of goofy ideas in breaking boring and predictable design troupes. The inevitably friendly V-Pavilion design is a serious proposition.

Suitable for all ages!

All vegetables used in this event will be donated for composting.

This event has been developed as part of the M_Curators, an MPavilion program engaging young makers, doers and programmers. This initiative is made possible by our presenting partner Bloomberg Philanthropies.

In collaboration with

Wominjeka (Welcome). We acknowledge the Yaluk-ut Weelam as the traditional custodians of the land on which we meet. Yaluk-ut Weelam means ‘people of the river camp’ and is connected with the coastal land at the head of Port Phillip Bay, extending from the Werribee River to Mordialloc. The Yaluk-ut Weelam are part of the Boon Wurrung, one of the five major language groups of the greater Kulin Nation. We pay our respects to the land, their ancestors and their elders—past, present and to the future.
