A stereotomic form extrudes from the ground, serving as a pavilion in a public landscape. The monument is surrounded by four canals, effectively dividing the landscape into chunks for individual occupation and movement.

Grand Entrance - A sloping ground invites visitors towards the main pavilion, the focal point of the site, while providing an ease of access to the ground as a whole.
Canals - Four main canals divide the ground into separate interfaces, allowing for a multitude of public events and activities to occur simultaneously. Each canal is a tunnel to allow passageway to different areas of the ground, but also encourages viewing of ongoing activities, and interaction with people. Each passageway can also be used as a cut-through to a final destination beyond the site.
Ground Material - The site is built from various natural and organic substances including concrete, gravel, reclaimed wood, and recycled steel. Together, the materials form a tranquil inviting space while simultaneously prompting exploration and discovery.
Texture and Variation - Each elevated structure has its own natural texture, however with all structures placed at differing heights and lengths, the ground itself receives a texture that is equal parts continuous and intermittent.
Main Pavillion - The main pavilion is the structure the ground is built around. The pavilion acts as a focal point for the public, and also provides shade and further space for recreation.
