The pavilion is meant as a multi-generational artifact that gathers the ideas of contemplation and playing in a single clear gesture. As a socially sustainable public infrastructure that plays with the visual field through form and cladding, it questions the current trend in public space furniture. The gesture itself is a three dimensional Möbius strip supported by a triangular truss. The cladding is a visual pattern generated to create a simultaneous Moiré and parallax effect. As the public approaches and engages with the pavilion, the visual field is modified and interrupted by the interference created by motion and the two layers of cladding. A base platform serves both as foundation and bench, providing a central area for seating within a never ending structure.
