Touloukian Touloukian Inc.
A public kiosk pavilion design by Touloukian Touloukian Inc., featuring a curved canopy and glazed storefronts integrated into a historic brick plaza context.

- Geometry
- Low-profile pavilion featuring a gently curved roof canopy supported by slender steel columns and a heavy brick base with alternating banding.
- Facade system
- Full-height glazed storefront systems paired with lower solid brick spandrels and corner bands.
- Structural guess
- Steel frame structure with concrete foundation and masonry cladding.
- Spatial scale
- Single-story pavilion scaled appropriately for pedestrian interaction within a major public square.
- Lighting
- Bright daytime sun casting soft, diffuse shadows across the plaza and storefront facade.
- Atmosphere
- Welcoming and active civic atmosphere centered around a permeable urban structure.
- Environmental context
- Urban public square paved in red brick, framed by historic brick institutional buildings in the background under a blue sky.
- Spatial experience
- The pavilion sits openly within a large brick pedestrian plaza, offering high transparency at eye level beneath an expansive sheltering roof.
- Composition rhythm
- Repeating vertical steel frame supports and alternating brick-and-stone courses establish a steady rhythm around the pavilion perimeter.
