  Pavilion at the Arnold Arboretum - Boston MA - Maryann Thompson Architects
This project is a collaboration with Reed I Hilderbrand Landscape Architects.  The plan of the new gardens is organic in form and spatially rich, evoking both the botanical traditions of French parterre gardens and the intricate patterns found in nature, such as the branching of trees or the veined configurations of insect wings.
The Pavilion structure, within the new vine and shrub collection, serves as an outdoor classroom and a place of repose.
Visitors moving toward the pavilion experience a spatial sequence of continual discovery and disclosure, alternating between the intimacy created by the planted vine structures and the expansiveness of the central lawn.

 Pavilion (structure) - guideofcasinos.com   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
Pavilion, in the English language (derived from French, "pavillon") can refer to any structure large or small, however there is usually a connection with relaxation and pleasure.
A pavilion can also be a small garden building similar to a summerhouse, these were particularly popular in the 18th century, and can be equated to the Italian casino.
By contrast a pavilion can also be a far larger building such as the Royal Pavilion at Brighton, which is in fact a large oriental style palace, however like its smaller namesakes the common factor is that it was built for pleasure and relaxation.

 1970 Expo - ASCE
The U. Pavilion for EXPO 70 in Osaka, Japan features a roof covering 100,000 sq ft with a clear span of 262 by 460 ft. The total weight of the air-supported portion is about one pound per square foot.
An air-supported structure had been the plan of the design team from the beginning, partly because in the original scheme it was intended to project giant-screen films on the inner surface of the resulting dome.
It was designed to have sufficient mass to prevent uplift with a factor of safety of 1.6 Between the base and the compression ring is a galvanized steel sheet, used to obtain a coefficient of friction of 0.4.

The pavilion relies on spontaneous crowd congregation to propose a new radical way of perceiving a given sporting event, and each looped space is perceived as an immersive environment in which the relationship of scale and proportion between the viewer and projection are radically modified.
The locomotion of the structure is solved as an integral part of the structure, with embedded direct drive wheels within the lowest row of the pixel polygons.
There are three identified structural deformations: tilting (vertical deformation), loop formation (horizontal curvature) and twisting (diagonal deformation), and each space can perform them singularly or in combination to achieve the spatial quality requested by the programme and the user.

As the core concept for this year’s Korean Pavilion, the theme “Landscape of Differences” is based on the many differences that can be found in art and nature, internal space and the external outdoors, as well as the artists and their works.
Derived from the Pavilion building, the Pavilion’s surrounding environment, and the open aspect of the Pavilion structure designed to blend in with nature, the exhibition theme and specifics highlight the unique identity of the Korean Pavilion.
Subsequently, the outdoor vista is drawn into the exhibition space while the works installed within the Pavilion appear to be thrust into the outdoors which causes a kind of spatial invagination to take place, which in turn, commences a dialogue between the inside and the outside, the making of an aesthetic of permeation.

Our 'clear span' aluminium frame pavilion marquees offer very flexible accommodation and can easily be erected on hard surfaces, scaffolding where the terrain is not level, as well as normal surfaces such as grass.
Wide span structures with high eaves are ideal for grand events with large numbers, or for events with large theme items (huge backdrops, Roman Pillars etc), whereas narrow spans with a lower wall height can be utilized to create smaller, more intimate party environments.
As the structures are modular extra 'bays' can be added or removed to accommodate an increase or decrease in numbers.
