Revised Pantheon is a second prize proposal by Fala developed in 2012. It is located in Tokyo Japan in an industrial setting. Its scale is small. Key material is concrete. Concepts such as grid and adaptable reuse are explored.

Everything happens in that square. A market filled with tourists, color, light, movement. Apparently there is no order. A large shadow would cover the entire square. In the center, a small opening would give a reason to go under the structure. The strength of the monolith only makes sense for the beauty of its exception. We propose a massive concrete structure, which is a shadow on the market, a tent in the square, a pantheon. It is a force that tries to impose an abstract order on the site. Product of a simple geometry, the square is 100 meters long and is oriented north-south. The monolithic slab is supported by a regular grid of concrete columns; in the center there is the light source, an exception that gives the whole a reason. Even if very large and imposing as it is, that light is what will be remembered.
