The swing pavilion exists from a composition of fifty swings that consists of wooden squares which forms the construction. The swings are assembled to the beams and have three different altitudes: 5 meter, 4 meter and 3 meter. This offers the possibility to adults and children to make use of the pavilion. Swinging is an action which gives pleasure and joy to the user. By building a pavilion with several swings, this joy can be shared with each other. The users are constantly moving, from the high to low swings or with two persons on a swing. A composition of moving people arises.
