    I respectfully acknowledge the First Peoples of Australia, who were and are the keepers of their cultural and spiritual knowledge and traditions and the traditional owners of the land on which I live, travel and work. 

    I honour the elders of the past, the present, and the future and appreciate their continued connection to the land, the water, and the sky.

    M Pavilion

    Queen Victoria Garden, Melbourne



    The central concept of the M pavilion is wave. The original landscape is slightly sloped, so I took the wave idea and made the podium slightly below the ground level. Correspondingly, the seatings are carved into the landscape, referencing the spiral shape. Performers can stand on the podium and look out to the landscape, whereas people can see what's happening inside the pavilion from almost every direction. This creates exciting dialogues between the inside of the pavilion and the surrounding environment. Concrete was used for the seatings since it has good thermal mass and muted colours. Timber was chosen for the pavilion as it's a natural material that connects to the landscape. At the same time, the timber's texture emphasises the light and elegant structure of the pavilion.
