Gehry-style 11m observation pavilion tower
This is a small, tower-type observation pavilion standing 11 meters tall. The core challenge is to compress Frank Gehry-style deconstructivist forms—twisted masses deviating from orthogonal grids, curved metal facades, and plate-like volumes offset from floor to floor—into a very small scale of 11 meters. Its function has been confirmed as an observation pavilion from which one ascends to look down upon the surroundings. Each floor has a footprint of approximately 6m × 6m (36㎡); the 11-meter structure is divided into three levels, utilizing a floor height of about 3,400mm, with an outdoor viewing deck located on the top floor. The structure features a slender tower proportion with a width-to-height ratio of approximately 1:1.8; users are designed to stay briefly in small numbers, and vertical circulation occupies a significant portion of the area on each floor. The design method has been determined to be a stacked offset form.
