Without the human hand, tessellations are the way geometry comes together to develop the natural world - from the very cells in our own bodies, to the largest Redwood tree in the forests of California. The designed tessellation pattern, inspired by the petal structure of the tulips of Amsterdam, is a set of octagons linked together by small squares. They stitch and fold along themselves to create a self-supporting enclosed frame with a hollow center. Each tessellated “column” has a square base and sits within in inverted ziggurat-styled octagon, interconnected with a fifth stepped platform at the center. Each column contains its own unique color of stained glass inserted into the tessellated planes and creating different concentrations of color for the viewer, wholly dependent on the concentration of sunlight and the angle in which the columns are being viewed. The entire system floats through the waterways of Vondelpark, allowing it to be stationed in various locations through the park and bringing the pavilion to the visitor rather than the visitor to the pavilion. Where the system is able to encroach upon the shore, access to the pavilion is allowed and welcomes the visitor onto the water with it. Where the system is allowed to float away, it stands as a landmark - a tessellated structural garden mingling with nature.
