HALL 8/9

15. A giant wooden structural “umbrella” roof that protects a
central piazza consisting of a stage area for musicians and
artists, small reconfigurable pavilions and restaurants, and
spectators taking time out between events.
Mimicking a forest, this giant roof’s columns represent
the vertical structure of tree trunks while the lattice shells
represent the tree canopy that allows daylight to penetrate
below. This artificial forest of trees and buildings, in which
private and public spaces, organic and non-organic forms
are integrated.
Covers more than 172,000 square feet (16,000 square
meters), with four individual pavilions ranging in size from
10,000 t0 15,000 sq. Ft. (975 to 1,430 square meters). Each
pavilion contains a small gallery as well as corresponding
service areas so that each building can be used separately.
