League of Shadows in Los Angeles, CA by P-A-T-T-E-R-N-SFriday, December 14th, 2012Article source: P-A-T-T-E-R-N-S Not a Pavilion Our proposal aims to fully exploit what we recognize as the most fundamental aspect underlying the project: the temporal use of the pavilion as a large outdoor event space. Due to its lack of programming, The conventional graduation pavilion suffers immediately after its purpose has been met, transforming from a place of spectacle to an abandoned vessel. If another pavilion is to be built, the scale of the project demands that it should not exist for a single usage, rather, it should become an icon that attracts public events from the surrounding community. We believe that if executed correctly, the pavilion could potentially activate a node within the downtown area.  Image Courtesy P-A-T-T-E-R-N-S
