First-year Design Studio, Waterloo Architecture, we were asked to design a pavilion including:


1. threshold

2. circulation

3. a change in level

4. a place of repose


The brief was otherwise unlimited - we were not even given a site. So I designed my process as a game:


How can I use as few elements as possible to create all four conditions?


The site is imagined as a reflecting pool, and the pavilion a contemplative pier.
