04 - CRITICAL POSITION
from Valley Gardens
by Ewan Malloch
Materiality
Given the context of the site in front of St Peter’s church it was important for the materiality pallet to stay fairly neutral and simple. Varying paving help to distinguish and partition different elements of the site. Concrete slabs, asphalt and rough poured concrete. The roof of the pavilion is made from steel sheets that reflect the surrounding environment slightly. The concrete seating elements house the steel columns that hold up the roof structure.

Structure
The roof structure is built up of internal steel structural elements with the steel sheets being welded above and below to encase the structural elements. The structural columns will also act and pillars for the extending canopy to attach to.
