Carme Pinós designs 2018 MPavilion in Melbourne's Queen Victoria Gardens
Images of the 2018 MPavilion, crafted by Spanish architect Carme Pinós, have been unveiled by the Naomi Milgrom Foundation. Set to be located in Melbourne's Queen Victoria Gardens, the pavilion will be open from October 8, 2018, until February 3, 2019. This marks the fifth iteration of the MPavilion, following the works of architects such as Seán Godsell and Rem Koolhaas.
