Design Investigation
This concept explores the relationship between structure, ritual, and place. Inspired by the efficiency and elegance found in natural organisms, the design uses a repeating system of angled supports and folded planes to create a powerful vertical presence.
Conceived as a monumental pavilion approximately seventy feet tall, the structure is envisioned as a destination within the urban landscape. At its center, a water element forms the heart of the experience, drawing visitors inward before guiding them upward through space, light, and geometry.
Rather than functioning as a traditional building, the project is imagined as a civic symbol: a place for gathering, reflection, and cultural identity.
Spatial Intent
