Aerial view of MARS Studio's tripartite curving pavilion set in a
北京
An aerial precedent for a tripartite curving civic pavilion sitting over water, demonstrating strong landscape integration within an urban park.
- What we like about this project
- The central triangular skylight acts as a visual anchor connecting all three divergent radiating wings.

- Geometry
- Three-lobed curved massing radiating from a central glazed atrium, set directly into an organic reflecting pool and surrounded by winding park paths.
- Facade system
- Curved standing seam metal roof intersecting with full-height glass curtain walls at the wings.
- Structural guess
- Steel space frame or curved truss system supporting the tripartite roof geometry over clear-span glass interiors.
- Spatial scale
- Large public pavilion with civic scale, sitting centrally within an expansive multi-acre park site.
- Lighting
- Bright daylight casting soft shadows, highlighting the metallic curving roof surfaces and water reflections.
- Atmosphere
- Serene and futuristic, balancing soft natural landscape elements with clean metallic curves.
- Environmental context
- Urban park setting framed by multi-lane roads and high-rise residential towers in the background.
- Spatial experience
- The building sits as an autonomous pavilion floating on water, approached via pedestrian bridges amidst dense urban park greenery.
- Composition rhythm
- Radial symmetry of the three wings contrasting with the organic, meandering paths and tree lines.
