The Light Wings Pavilion creates an ever-changing experience through the interplay of light and shadow. Sunlight enters the space through a CNC cutout in the roof casting illuminated fairy wings on the opposite wall. Children are invited to interact with the light imagining themselves with their own fairy wings. The pavilion was constructed of otherwise unusable 2×4 drops – a common waste product of any construction site. These leftover boards are arranged around a radius creating a relatively smooth interior surface and a dynamic exterior texture.
