I recalled a lecture from this semester in which the lecturer was explaining choreography and scale. I was particularly taken with an image of numerous umbrellas placed within the landscape.
The artists are Christo and Jean-Claude, who are also famously known for wrapping the Reichstag in Berlin.
I thought about the scale of their installation and the idea of providing connections within the landscape. The idea of also creating shade and introducing sustainable energy and resource collection could be useful to the people of East Timor.
Although the site we have been asked to consider is relatively compact and flat, immediately behind this site is a dramatic incline in slope. With this comes views and an incredible vertical landscape in which to place the pavilions.
There could be rest stops along the way up to the amphitheatre, which also means protections and shade, as well as water collection for irrigations, and solar power generation. An interesting way to take in the views and breezes from opportune locations
It is important to have the facility to allow the client to decide where and when she can place the pavilions. The ability to have the pavilions be adaptable is of primary importance.

It is important to have the facility to allow the client to decide where and when she can place the pavilions. The ability to have the pavilions be adaptable is of primary importance.A relatively modest floor area for each pavilion can be overcome by placing two or more together. The collection of water can also be facilitated by connecting many pavilions to undergound rain vaults. Not only does this help in guarding against water-born disease, but with not interfere with the visual landscape or useable space.
