As part of a series of pavilions installed in an Iowa<\/a> park system, Arizona design studio I\/Thee has created the Puddle Pavilion, which is topped with caps made of “splattered” algae-based resin<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

The pavilion is located along a local creek in Bondurant, Iowa, and was created to provide a spot for visitors to “engage more deeply” with the waterside site, according to I\/Thee.<\/a><\/p>\n

I\/Thee has completed a pavilion in Iowa made of resin canopies<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

“The Puddle Pavilion is a free-form canopy made of algae-based bio-resin, poured, splattered, and flung directly onto the ground without any formwork before being suspended on slender steel columns to create a frozen river in the sky,” said the studio.<\/p>\n

The pavilion is composed of two volumes that border a stone pathway leading into the adjacent creek. Large boulders located around the pavilion create seating and also form a staircase down to the water.<\/p>\n
