TIANYI PAVILION
UM
The Pavilion is located at Tianyi Square, Ningbo. It covers an
area of 178 square meters. The building presents an irregular
geometrical form as a whole.The intention of facing the main
entrance towards the entrance of the Tianyi Square is to enrich
the city interface of the Square while keeping the commercial
atmosphere intact.
The roof ridge of the building conforms the direction from the
entrance to the central axis of the Square. Considering the
temporary nature of the Pavilion and its costs, the form of folding
surfaces is adopted instead of using curved roof, and the turning
of the roof shows dynamic changes according to different
functions. A semi-outdoor sheltered space is formed with a
suspended lightweight structure to attract the crowd into the
private interior display area.
