Inspired by the pilgrimage through forested terrain in search of divinity, the design offered a symbolic spatial journey. Visitors entered a shaded realm of abstracted foliage—canopies of undulating fabric that mirrored the dense, tangled vegetation of a forest.

These were organized over a mandala-like grid of nineteen circular discs, each 10 feet in diameter, arranged within a 60-foot-wide circle. Each disc was supported by composite bamboo posts rising 20 feet high, creating a structural field of verticals anchoring the experience.

The project marked a shift in community engagement—where for the first time, many recognized the installation not simply as decoration, but as a meaningful spatial story. The Pavilion of Canopies thus stood as both a visual spectacle and a vessel of cultural memory—an ephemeral temple for collective reflection and celebration.
