In partnership with TED2017: “The future you”, DBR presents PAUSE, an international wood design competition that will determine the final form of this year’s pavilion structure for TED2017. The challenge is to create a space to reflect personally and in the same breath, share that experience with others. Can taking a PAUSE and connecting to nature answer the questions that TED is exploring? Prizes include one Conference Pass to TED2017, airfare to Vancouver from a North American airport and accommodation in Vancouver for the length of the pavilion installation and TED conference.
