The Crystal Pavilion draws inspiration from the abstract geometry of a snowflake, specifically its crystal lattice structure forming hexagonal prisms. Each prism comprises six unit tetrahedrons, and when the four points of each tetrahedron are connected, a hyperbolic paraboloid surface emerges. These units are constructed using four glulam subunits, joined at various points with gusset plates. The addition of tension fabric enhances the spatial quality, creating a striking interplay of light, shadow, and volume throughout the pavilion.
