PAVILION 1 PAVILION 2 RIVER ACCESS DESERT PAVILION THE MOUND COMMUNITY RESTORATION

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.

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.

COMMUNITY CENTER RESTORATION

Located at the northern end of the Sara D. Roosevelt Park in the Lower East Side of Manhattan, a storage house with public restroom access is being underutalized. With this in mind, the storage house became the driving factor of the community center. In order to integrate the community center with the storagehouse seamlessly, the outside of the community center stayed orthogonal to match the storage house’s design. To create a unique experience inside of the community center, a balloon was placed inside of a box to help visualize what interior spacial conditions could be made within an orthogonal exterior.
