About Universal the Pavilion Universal Pavilion

Universal the Pavilion is a multifunctional pavilion designed for a park site in Moscow. The rectangular building is enclosed on three sides by stained glass windows with wooden inserts and covered by a flat roof that cantilevers over the entrance areas and long terraces. Two entrance groups lead to a cafe on the north side and to a universal hall for public events on the south side. An internal corridor connects both areas. A glass covered platform between them protects visitors from rain and snow. Panoramic glazing opens the interior to the surrounding landscape.

Operation Flow
The building of the multifunctional pavilion is located on a pre-defined section of elongated shape, facing the short sides of the road. The pavilion follows the geometry of the site with its shape in the plan and has 2 entrance groups. On the North side, a pedestrian road leads people to cafes. On the South side, groups of people get to the universal hall for holding public events - wedding banquets, conferences, seminars, and exhibitions. Both of these areas are connected by an internal corridor, which allows you to combine the functions of these rooms. Between them is a platform covered with glass, which protects from rain and snow. You can also sit on it for a Cup of coffee while enjoying the beautiful landscape. The Eastern side of the pavilion is separated from the rest of the Park by a wall of tall trees. All utility and process rooms open onto it. The cafe, multi-purpose hall and outdoor area are facing South with great views.The panoramic glazing of these rooms creates a sense of merging with nature.
Research
You improve yourself , learn something new, communicate with like-minded people , or meet new people. You watch, listen, or celebrate something. Sometimes you eat, drink coffee to maintain internal energy. Behind you is the firmament of the wall , and above you is the far- reaching console of the high ceiling. You don 't subconsciously feel anxious or apprehensive. Your gaze is directed towards the light coming from three sides. You can see an amazing landscape there. This calms you down and allows you to fully focus on your favorite process.
Inspiration
Kolomenskoye historical Park is a unique place where there are examples of ancient Russian architecture of different eras, which are located against the background of a surprisingly beautiful natural landscape. The creative intonation is set by the powerful music of Pink Floyd.
