The Water Pavilion

The project focuses on the life of a place near Surat, Gujarat by making a water pavilion. The idea of making a water pavilion appeared after observing problems in the monsoon as there is heavy rainfall and in summer it is very dry. During monsoon, the amount of water from nearby lakes is so large that it overflows and in summer it is so dry that the site is hot and dusty. The design of the pavilion mainly focuses on transforming the site and making it more simple and clear. Firstly by removing the underground pipelines and making a proper form to flow water easily and provide coolness around the area. Also making the pavilion near the lake so that people can visit the site. The structure of the pavilion is simple which is made from a combination of wood and brick. In which sitting area and cooler are provided. It is an open space pavilion.
