Light Wings Pavilion at Powell Gardens

Kansas City, MO, United States

YEAR
2012
Light Wings Pavilion hosts an ever-changing experience through the interplay of light and shadow. Constructed of salvaged 2x4 drops – a common waste product of any construction site – sunlight enters the elliptical, egg-shaped structure through a CNC cutout in the roof, casting alluring “fairy wings” onto the wall below.

Set on 970 acres of lush, rolling hills and meadows, Powell Gardens is a not-for-profit botanical garden located just east of Kansas City, Missouri. Offering breathtaking display gardens and a year-round calendar of special events, Powell Gardens hosted a Fairy Houses and Fort Exhibit in spring of 2012 for which this playful pavilion was designed and fabricated.
The pavilion’s materiality was inspired by the idea of reuse. Leftover 2x4 boards were gathered from a local truss fabricator and arranged around a radius to create a consistent interior surface and a dynamic exterior honeycomb texture. Strategically designed to allow sunlight to enter the structure through a CNC cutout in the roof, illuminated fairy wings are cast along the interior walls. Children are invited to interact with the light imagining themselves with their very own fairy wings.
