The temporary structure was designed to shelter a religious idol, with a notion of continuous

movement as its guiding principle. the idea was to create a composition of light and color, which would

convey movement and playfulness. vibrantly hued LED lights are placed around a rising circular volume

to emphasize the focal point while guiding visitors around the pavilion on a journey of ever-changing

views.

 

Close to 1,800 locally sourced bamboo has been cut to specific lengths from 2 to 15 feet,

incrementally forming a gradually rising volume based on its length, color and position. rooted to

the ground in a regular grid, the organic rods have been painted in spectral hues. retro-reflective vinyl

stickers were pasted at the top of each pole. coupled with hired halogen lights, the stickers give the

pavilion the desired glowing effect.

 

The colors and lights capture the festive atmosphere of the occasion.
