Cloud Pavilion - David Kohn Architects
Shortlisted competition entry, December 2011
“An open international competition for a park hub building and landscape commissioned by the Olympic Park Legacy Company. Our shortlisted proposal, Cloud Pavilion, was inspired by the history of the site. If travelling eastwards out of central London, the Lea Valley is one’s first encounter with an abundance of uninterrupted sky. In 1802, amateur meteorologist Luke Howard was similarly taken by the Valley’s skies and invented cloud classifications whilst out walking - cumulus, cirrus and stratus.”
