Project: Structure Assembly

The pavilion is based in response to the facilities surrounding the site. A potential example of biological mimicry for the students of Stanley Hall, an educational opportunity for the Child Development Center, and a reference to the history of Curtis Hall. The overall feel of the pavilion is that of a forest, with the curved columns and organic openings of the shades creating an effect like sunlight passing through a canopy of trees. Each shade and seating area is modeled after a piece of foliage from a different biome, referencing the evolutionary teachings of Winterton Curtis. The pavilion houses planters which support native species and is constructed using sustainable materials such as “re-wall” and localized wood.
