To help beat the heat this summer, the Community Development Department has installed a whimsical temporary pavilion to provide shade and cooling for residents in The Port.
The pavilion is constructed using a technique that creates structural surfaces out of low-cost recyclable material. The entire structure is composed of only three different parts that are used to shape the roof, walls, individual seats, and communal benches. The pavilion is inventively constructed in modules and can be reconfigured based on specific park needs.
“The shade pavilion is a step towards exploring social resilience strategies. It is a place to retreat from the increasing heat and meet friends and neighbors, while bringing a sense of delight to the neighborhood,” said Iram Farooq, Assistant City Manager for Community Development.
