Semi-transparent shell allows for a unique visual interaction with the presenter as well diffusing light into the pavilion.

The outer threshold, defined by the outer shell, creates a more enclosed space despite being larger.

The junction between the two thresholds creates a space within the space allowing for multiple experiences.

The inner threshold, defined by the inner shell, allows for a more permiable space due to its transparency.

Showing the differing experiences of a phisically permiably facade (top) and a visually permiable facade (bottom).
