迈皋堂桥·南京（竞赛）-
杭州
A waterfront public pavilion precedent integrating tiered metal grating platforms and masonry walls to activate a historic canal edge.
- What we like about this project
- Stepped platforms cantilever or step directly down into the canal water surface.

- perforated-metal
- stepped-seating
- Geometry
- Linear flat-roofed pavilion stretching alongside a stone-lined canal, featuring stepped grated metal platforms descending toward the water.
- Facade system
- Open-sided pavilion with structural steel columns and perforated metal decking.
- Structural guess
- Steel frame canopy with slender columns supported by concrete or brick retaining structures.
- Spatial scale
- Intimate human-scaled public pavilion seating roughly single-story height beneath a low cantilevered roof.
- Lighting
- Diffused daylight filtering through a thin canopy; strong overhead sun casting crisp shadows over metal gratings and water.
- Atmosphere
- Calm, reflective riparian atmosphere blending industrial metal elements with natural stone and water.
- Environmental context
- Canalside urban edge flanked by masonry retaining walls and mature trees.
- Spatial experience
- Movement shifts horizontally along upper walkways and vertically down stepped perforated terraces that bring occupants level with the canal surface.
- Composition rhythm
- Horizontal roof plane and steps contrasting with vertical brick wall articulation and slender steel posts.
