`The Reflex Pavilion is a pavilion addition to the urban fabric of downtown Syracuse, that lies opposite to the controversial Columbus Circle. It seeks to unify the Civic Centre’s municipal surfaces with the more publicly-owned urban surfaces of the Church and the Columbus park. The design program consists of a quasi-public market stall membrane, a flexible-program Community Center, a hyper-tectonic amphitheatre space, and a circulatory bus stop. All of these spaces utilize variations of a module that’s made up of light-wood framing,
co-dependent structure. Most notably in the amphitheatre, we see this single wood module create communal space through means of curvilinear array, using an interlocking tectonic strategy, with areas through which pedestrian traffic can flow. Through this ‘gestural’ site strategy, a communal space is created, with programs that juxtapose bodies of people from seemingly contrasting surfaces.
