A pavilion precedent utilizing organic, fluid geometries to reclaim and activate residual urban space beneath an elevated highway.
- What we like about this project
- The dramatic hourglass pinch on the left facade creates a localized structural squeeze before opening back up.

Visual tags

- exhibition
- infrastructure-edge
- Geometry
- An elongated pod with a fluid, pinched waist on the left end, featuring a continuous floor-to-ceiling glass facade wrapped in a metallic contoured shell.
- Facade system
- Curtain wall with full-height glass panels set within a continuous metallic composite shell.
- Structural guess
- Steel space frame or welded tubular steel ribs supporting non-standard metal panels and curtain wall.
- Spatial scale
- Single-story pavilion spanning roughly the height of the highway clearance underneath.
- Lighting
- Diffused overcast daylight reflecting off wet ground and metallic panel edges.
- Atmosphere
- Surreal and futuristic contrast between sleek metallic curves and raw infrastructural concrete.
- Environmental context
- Unfinished muddy ground below a massive elevated concrete highway viaduct.
- Spatial experience
- The enclosure occupies the residual under-bridge space, contrasting soft organic curves with the heavy industrial concrete infrastructure above.
- Composition rhythm
- Horizontal continuity of the glazed wall interrupted by structural mullions and the dramatic pinched end frame.
