The form of the 96 sqm pavilion strategically responds to the Museum Gardens and the surrounding buildings while also providing a variety of lighting conditions with patterned patches of light changing hour by hour, each day. The pavilion’s entry and exit faces the park entrance to the northeast, and the Church of St. John to the southwest. Along this circulation route, visitors can either circulate through the pavilion or take advantage of the various seating areas to relax and contemplate in solitude, or gather in small groups to share discussions with friends and other visitors.
