2. Water Pavilion

Concept Considerations:

Vertical Pavilion is a pavilion with tall structures on two sides. These structures create beautiful morning shadows. When walking through the pavilion, you start on the north side and walk south past the water stairs. To continue, you turn east and reach the stairs which lead to the second floor only. From there, you can see a nice view, and the only way to exist is to head back down the stairs. The pavilion incorporates layers of material, tall structures, and U-shaped columns to create an interesting clustered and blocky Yin-Yang shaped pavilion. The west stairs waterfall from the vertical columns to incorporate water.
