‘Flatland Pavilion’ is a multi-faceted architectural installation and a play on geometrical orders and structural potentials. While lines are commonly depicted as naively one-dimensional, ‘Flatland Pavilion’ is a showcase of a delicate yet challenging structure conceived completely out of simple and thin lines. The steel-bar lines of the pavilion move in X, Y & Z creating complex and compelling spaces, and giving form and depth to a delightful ground for the public to hangout around.

From an urban point of view, the sculptural poetics of the pavilion is a design statement in itself. The presence of the pavilion in a public space is an act of beautification, which in return, help to improve the public's' visual sensibilities and engage them more with their city.
