Project Overview:
The designers approached this pavilion—which socially and formally anchors a dynamic urban park—with an eye towards offering focused enjoyment in the midst of dynamic recreation. Taking explicit inspiration from the park’s curving paths, which themselves reflect the landscape’s topography, the pavilion is the park’s central hearth, offering a space for refreshment and pause. The floating roofs become both shaded overhangs and sculptural motifs; formal articulations and conceptual links to the park’s tree canopies and other pavilions; places for gathering and quiet solitude. Everything in the park coalesces here into a spatial, formal, and, most importantly, experiential frame.
