This project envisions a pavilion that enhances the site in front of Gerald D. Hines architecture school, seamlessly adapting to its surroundings.
Geometry and shapes emerge from meticulous studies, resulting in captivating forms that complement the existing landscape.
While the surrounding buildings boast brick facades and block-like structures, our pavilion embraces a unique design without overpowering its neighbors. It integrates harmoniously, blending with the environment and preserving the natural beauty of the surrounding trees.
Respecting the ecosystem, the pavilion gracefully accommodates the existing trees, ensuring none are removed during construction.
The pavilion features a clever layout, with an elevated area four feet below ground, providing a secluded space for individuals. Above, the pavilion’s surface transforms into a dynamic public area—a gathering place tailored to the campus community’s diverse needs and vibrant activities.
