The central concept, or "parti," of the Ice Cave focuses on the experience of transitioning between interior and exterior spaces. By abstracting and softening edges, the pavilion frames three sides of lush green parkland while offering stunning views of Manhattan's iconic skyline on the side facing New York City.

Constructed from clear polycarbonate tubes or similar transparent materials, the pavilion embraces the transformative power of light and movement. Transparency allows the structure to become a living, breathing part of its environment, dynamically interacting with sunlight, shade, and user activity. This innovative use of materials ensures the space remains vibrant and engaging, constantly evolving with its surroundings.

Sustainability lies at the heart of the Figment Glass Pavilion’s design. The structure maximizes the use of natural daylight and prevailing winds to reduce its environmental footprint while offering visitors a memorable and eco-conscious architectural experience.

This pavilion demonstrates how modern architecture can balance aesthetics, sustainability, and functionality, making it a landmark project for environmentally responsive design.
