Rendering by Ron Arad Studio of a public pavilion formed from a series
A public pavilion design featuring folded bronze-toned vertical fins that establish a strong rhythmic threshold within an urban park setting.
- What we like about this project
- The vertical fins twist slightly along their height, turning a flat screen into a dynamic volumetric envelope.

- contemporary
- Geometry
- A linear pavilion composed of repeating folded vertical metal fins that angle dynamically across a pedestrian plaza.
- Facade system
- Custom folded metal fin screen framing transparent openings.
- Structural guess
- Steel primary frame supporting folded architectural metal facade blades.
- Spatial scale
- Human-scale pavilion structure with fins rising roughly two stories above the walking plaza.
- Lighting
- Bright direct daylight casting sharp shadows from the vertical fins onto the pedestrian paving.
- Atmosphere
- Lively, open public atmosphere energized by dynamic metallic textures and clear daylight.
- Environmental context
- Urban park setting with mature trees, historic stone architecture, and an ornate gothic tower in the background.
- Spatial experience
- The rhythmic fins create a porous threshold between open public hardscape and sheltered pavilion interior space.
- Composition rhythm
- Steady, rhythmic sequence of angled vertical metal fins stepping across the facade line.
