Description
The elliptically formed pavilion is ca. 20 meters long, 6.50 meters wide and 4 meters high and built using glued-laminated beams made of Douglas fir with a few steel elements. The fanned lamella pavilion with its circular opening to the sky plays skilfully with the penetrating incidence of light. The pavilion will be used by both churches in a different location after completion of the garden show.
