Yinka Ilori designs mirrored pavilion for self-reflection at Haus der Kulturen der Welt 2024
British-Nigerian designer Yinka Ilori has created the Reflection in Numbers pavilion, which is designed to encourage reflection on racism in sport ahead of the Euro 2024 football tournament.
Showcased as part of Haus der Kulturen der Welt's (HKW) programme titled Ballet of the Masses ? on Football and Catharsis, the pavilion aims to highlight issues of racism in sports and particularly football.
The structure uses mirrors to remind visitors of their own personal accountability and to serve as an "impetus for self-reflection".

"The idea of the mirrors is to make visitors reflect on their behaviours and interactions with others," Ilori said.
"They are there to make it hard for people to hide, if they?re shouting or swearing, like we often see on sporting grounds and in stadiums," he continued. "Another aspect I thought about when designing this pavilion, was how spiritual football can be as a sport. It brings people and communities together to sing, chant, share praise, and wave flags."
Mirrors are used to encourage self-reflection within visitors
The timber pavilion is enclosed on one side by a perforated exterior composed of calabashes ? a plant often used as a key component in instruments within West African communities.
A yellow-painted timber structure wraps around the other half of the structure.
