The geometric expression of the ramping horizontal ribbon of the Pavilion’s continuous floor is the project’s essential organizational and circulation device, providing the ground plane for a sequential and contiguous exhibition experience.

The Pavilion is enclosed with white fritted glass that is patterned with a varied density of opaque white abstractions of large-scaled bamboo leaves. This variably applied pattern serves two functions: its application is dense where low light levels are required by the exhibition program inside; and the pattern offers a soft, white-on-white building presence when seen from outside through the green bamboo planting of the gardens.
