About the project
The name of this pavilion is “bAll”.
The remote and unachievable dream of children touching and feeling branches and leaves of trees will turn into a fulfilled wish in “bAll”; here, people can turn from a mere visitor into an active participant through games and happy and peaceful activities.
The concept of “bAll” is on the basis of metaphor and a childish look at colorful flowers in the turf, playing under shadows and watching the dance of branches and leaves of trees; it is an opportunity to experience and interact with a new sensation as it changes the typical approach to gardens;
The goal of developing “bAll” is creating discursive space based on human-environment interaction approach. Playing is “bAll”’s solution to encounter of human with nature. The approach could invoke the feelings of peace and respect for nature in people.
“bAll” can start a change in human viewpoint of garden; a start which leads to taking pleasure and appreciation of nature.
