Constructed pavilion-Layered systems working with each other. The steel beams create the primary system from which the rest of the construct relies on. The skin is held by the thin linear elements bolted to the steel beams. The skin is perforated metal sheets that shade the interior space. As the sun continues to move along the sky, the pattern of shadows change in the interior space. 

The Pavilion itself becomes a museum of light. There is a relationship between the making of the sun shading system and the shadows they create. The concrete planes serve as canvases. The tectonics involved in the making mark the ground with a similar calligraphy.
