The structure takes the form of a smooth rounded shell when vied at a distance. Upon closer observations you can see the numerous flat concrete and steel elements that goes into the creating the single continuous curved form. As these elements are configured as if a rib structure, this gives the pavilion the ability to reconfigure its appearance, changing the experience users get within.In total 16 iterations where made to reach a working solution. While doing so scaled models where built to accurately test the feasibility of the design.
