Exhibition 2016
An architectural rendering of a futuristic pavilion set in a park. The main part of the pavilion has a white, bulbous shape and is gracing the sky on white cylindrical columns, planted in the ground in a circle. Within the pavilion is a group of mature trees and a gridded glass sealing that mimics the topography of the tree canopy. Down at the ground are tiny specs of people that demonstrate the grand scale of the pavilion.
