The stained glass allows the interaction of light with coloured glass which change according to the sun path during the day and throughout the year, making the pavilion dynamic.
The openings in the metal frame structure allows the insertion of stained glass, which with its properties not only makes the whole structure impermeable but also makes the pavilion more dynamic.

The structure is made out of alpha bronze, a light alloy of copper which provides it with a bright sheen enhancing the user experience within the space, specially at night. The extension of the tail inhibits the circulation to and from the pavilion from that edge forcing the visitor to move circitously as though on some spiritual journey.
The play with shadows and light during the day establishes an everchanging metaphorical threshold.

The concrete semicircular extrusion acts a physical threshold, seperating the more intimate space from the more open space.

The seating takes the form of snake tail as it undulates and emerges from the Landscape giving the whole structure coherence. The difference in the material between the seats and the Cobra head makes the head more sculptural and monumental.

The concrete ramp acts as an inbetween transition space; there is a tactile difference between the two materials (Concrete and grass)
