PAVILION
THE DESERT PAVILION
While hiking along the Red Rock Canyons of Las Vegas, Nevada, several pavilions will be passed. The first pavilion consists of a series of platforms to allow accesible views of the surrounding canyon without the need to rock climb. Because of the harsh desert sun, each platform is shaded from above, but open from the sides to allow the breezes to help cool you down while on your hike. Whether you’re on the pavilion or under, special views of Las Vegas’s canyons can be seen. If you’re visiting Las Vegas for the first time or are a local, these pavilions are something you wont want to miss out on.
TRAILHEAD
THE MOUND
Emerging from the undulating topography of the southeast corner of Central Park, The Mound was put in place to create a visual juxtaposition while creating a communal space for you and your family to explore. While walking on the continuous ramps throughout the gallery spaces, balconies and large windows give you optimal views of the landmarks of New York City and Central Park as well. During your visit to The Mound, make sure to check out the cafe on the top floor of the gallery for good eats, the gift shop at the exit for take home souvenirs, and the classrooms for specialty art classes adjacent to the screen gallery.
MODERN METABOLISM
Metabolism in architecture has been executed in many different ways because of its wide range of topics. Focusing on ideal living situations, modules were created to allow you to occupy as much space as desired. Like Metabolism, this idea of module combination will allow your space to continue to grow and adapt to your needs. Whether you need more or less space in the future, each module was designed to make expansion or subtraction easy. Purchasing an apartment at this location would make your forever home adaptable to your future needs.
