The main corridor is an extention of the city's streets. It connects this urbain pavilion to the city. At the same time, this corridor=greenhouse plays an important role as heat collector, followed by the sun's movement.

Shading function
To avoid over heating in Summer, I designed punching metal shutter( thin aluminum board with holes (2cm in diameter). It is installed on the very edge of the roof.
+ Concrete pargola is designed outside of the pavilion to help extention of the cafe in Summer.( vegetation is considered to make natural shading.)
