Written by the project team at handover. Photographs on 35 mm film during construction and after completion.
One roof, open on every side
The city asked for shelter for markets, concerts and the people who simply wait for the ferry. We answered with a single roof and no walls, so the river and the plaza run underneath it.
The folded slab spans 32 metres on six inclined legs. A continuous LED line is set into the fold, turning the underside into a lantern after dark.
At night the pavilion is drawn in one line of light. By day it is mostly shadow.
Built for the river
Marine-grade concrete, stainless fixings and a drained plaza mean the structure can take salt air and the occasional flood without fuss.
