The Mill Woods Aurora Pavilion is a dance of the spirit for the many streams of culture and activity that traverse the Mill Woods community and its major public park. It engages the broadest range of visitors and passersby, as much in snowbound winter evening as warm summer day. It guides accessibility, new uses, casual meeting, and cultural connection, in addition to enhancing the existing park landscape and supporting its organized activities. It will enrich the exploration and celebration of cultural memory, volunteerism, achievement, and future possibilities across diverse heritage traditions. It provides an interactive beacon for Mill Woods' vibrant and sustainable future.
The pragmatic role of the Pavilion' s required spaces -as meeting and activity room, bathroom, change room, and club storage facilities -can be well-accommodated in various forms. We believe these uses, with careful attention to accessibility, security, and sustainability, can be placed at the service of a larger ideal for shared public experience of the Park and Mill Woods as a whole. Its design can foster community participation on many levels, and engage with Edmonton' s rich pattern of local and global cultural connection. We believe this is an important role for architecture and its interaction with the users who will bring it to life.
