support its structural system and floors above. the ground floor will showcase projected
images, live theatre performances and activities within the atrium space and main hall.

urban symphony aims to show rhythm and beat through the pavilion's architecture
of water fountain movements, window and sunshade fins layouts on the façade, with
the interplay of sounds and visuals on different levels.

the pavilion will be constructed from recyclable aluminum and steel for the facade
and reinforced concrete for the foundations, floor slabs and columns.
