Pine Pavilion

The pavilion stands beside a village on a path along a river, a small piece of infrastructure for cyclists and walkers exploring the region. It was designed by a Chinese practice.

It is a timber structure of prefabricated parts assembled on site, and it houses an installation on the history of pine resin making in the nearby village.

The long pavilion is divided into four segments. Glass panels separate the timber elements, and on them the making of resin is illustrated in an abstract way, so that the images and the pine trees around the pavilion read as one picture.

With its plain, clear structure, the pavilion offers a place to rest by the river dam and tells the story of a traditional craft, joining local history with the routes that bring visitors to the area.
