A WINTER MOUNTAIN
We see the user's experience of the pavilion as one of starting at a single point (place of gathering, retrieving equipment), moving out through line and plane (sport fields), journeying into unknown dimensions (balls flying through the air), and returning to the pavilion again. Thus, the design of the Castle Downs District Park Pavilion seeks to express two elemental principles: the first an ordering principle and the second, an experiential phenomenon. The pavilion itself is based on a formal and spatial concept that goes back millennia, a typology that can be found in all cultures around the world. The design is inspired by a basic set of geometries which supports simplicity in the form generation. Central to the pavilion is a courtyard which acts as a figural open space. This space creates a defined public/semi-public gathering area. Most importantly, the courtyard configuration allows for passive ventilation, shade during the summer, and a wind-breaker during the cold Edmonton winter.
