The Infocenter Pavilion was initially intended to provide information on the new Rijksmuseum project. In the meantime, it has been occupied by a variety of activities, both planned and spontaneous.
The architecture of the Pavilion refers to the colossal Rijksmuseum located just behind. The sloping roof and angled rear façade, with windows that frame fragments of the Rijksmuseum, refer to the roofing of the main building, while the transparent main facade seeks connection with pedestrians and the public space.
The furniture is elegantly situated and reinforces the length of the building. At the sites where the rear facade creates spaces, there are some round elements- a counter and a pedestal for the large model of the project- which lie isolated in the space.
