Duplantier Volunteer Pavilion Designer: Mike McKay
Location: New Orlean, LA
Image Credits: Frank Doring The Duplantier Volunteer Pavilion is located in the New Orleans Botanical Garden in City Park. After the devastating storms of 2005 a number Cypress trees in City Park were uprooted. This pavilion was constructed as result of these fallen trees. The pavilion is conceived of as six identical modules that are aggregated across the site. The modules are either grouped or pulled apart to accommodate existing site conditions….trees, root systems, site restrictions, etc. The ‘sliding’ of each individual module allows for a formal variability within a rigid system and maximizes use of the site without building to its extents. → archinect.com Posted: 11/11/2009 digg | del.icio.us | stumble | email this
