This development of a prototype for a pavilion in one of Manhattan’s parks was inspired by a practical exercise exploring parametric structures that expand the possibilities of applying this technology. The site is a little-used, central public space in this case.

The design aims to revitalize this urban void, not only through the installation of the pavilion, but with a more comprehensive proposal for urban furniture and pavements that emphasize its radial structure and its geometry.

The 200 ㎡ temporary pavilion incorporates a three-dimensional mesh, coded with the coordinates and main axes on which to base the rhomboid geometry and the scale of the openings in the envelope, taking as a reference the formal structure of the expanded metal.
