This pavilion proposal shows a strong and coherent design attitude, where the architectural form genuinely emerges from an idea of movement, continuity, and interaction. The top-view geometry produces a clear circulation narrative, and the project succeeds in turning “path” into an experience rather than a corridor. The integration of existing trees is handled intelligently, allowing nature to act as a spatial anchor, not a decorative element.Material choice and tectonic expression are also promising. The rhythmic vertical timber/bamboo screen gives the pavilion identity, scale, and a readable “threshold” condition, while maintaining openness and ventilation. Overall, the project has a convincing sculptural presence and the potential to work as a small public landmark with a calm, engaging atmosphere. With additional resolution in structural logic, environmental performance, and program definition, it can evolve from a strong concept into a fully buildable architectural proposal.

My advice is to develop the project further by tightening the relationship between experience, structure, and performance.
Strengthen spatial hierarchy and the sequence of movement.
The flow is strong, but the pavilion would benefit from clearer “moments”: a more legible entrance threshold, a defined central pause (gathering/learning node), and a meaningful exit condition. Consider using controlled compression and release (height, screen density, and opening size) rather than relying mainly on floor color to communicate the journey.Clarify structural logic and assembly strategy.
The roof ribbon is visually compelling, yet the proposal needs a clearer explanation of how it stands, spans, and is stabilized. Add a simple structural diagram showing primary supports, bracing strategy, and how the screen contributes (or does not contribute) to lateral stability. An exploded axonometric with connection logic (base anchoring, screen-to-frame, roof-to-frame) will significantly increase credibility.Resolve environmental comfort: shade, glare, and microclimate.
Since the pavilion is open, comfort becomes the main “performance metric.” Study sun angles and adjust screen density, orientation, and roof overhang to reduce glare and create usable shade during peak hours. If the pavilion is intended for learning/reading, prioritize diffuse daylight and avoid harsh contrast.Define program zones with purpose, not just possibility.
Translate the stated functions into spatial decisions: allocate a small storytelling/education pocket (semi-enclosed), quieter seating for individual use, and a flexible open area for casual social activity. Even minimal zoning on plan (with capacity cues and furniture logic) will make the pavilion’s role more persuasive.
Make accessibility measurable.
If universal access is a goal, document slope percentages, clear widths, turning radius points, and seating accessibility. A small accessibility diagram will remove doubt and show professional rigor.These upgrades do not change the project’s identity; they sharpen it. The concept is already strong. By resolving structure, microclimate, and the choreography of key spatial moments, the pavilion can move from a beautiful form to a well-argued piece of architecture.
