Appreciation towards UNStudio for providing the following description:

徘徊和作用于内与外，光与影，开放与封闭之间，Ellipsicoon为来访者提供了一处难得的平静处所，供人闲暇小憩，安静阅读，独自沉思，与人交谈等活动。Ellipsicoon是一处沉静心灵的静谧之所，让人获得短暂的尘世逃脱和身心的释放。

Inside-outside, light and shade, open and closed, the Ellipsicoon offers a tranquil space for either solitary moments of rest, reading or contemplation, or a cocoon-like theatre for conversation and communication. The Ellipsicoon pavilion is a space for the mind, for moments of ephemeral escape, for rumination or for simply being.

该装置经由数字化设计，再由技能娴熟的手艺人亲手编织。其连续的外表面全部采用百分百可回收高密度聚乙烯（HDPE）打造。

Designed and developed digitally, then handwoven by highly skilled craftsmen, the continuous sculptural surface of the pavilion is constructed from strands of 100% recyclable high-density polyethylene (HDPE).

结构的弯曲随着其体量的升高而向内收缩，使圆形开口同时具有内外双面性，让人在被连续编织曲面包裹的同时，感受到自身和凉亭与周围自然环境的紧密相连。

The curved sides of the structure taper inwards as they rise, enabling the rounded openings to facilitate moments of being simultaneously both inside and outside – physically and intimately connected to the surroundings and to nature, whilst wrapped and enclosed by the soft, continuous curves of the woven structure.

凉亭略高于地面，其内部为来访者提供了封闭和半封闭式的下沉坐席，以及沿着凉亭外围而设的曲面坐席。不同尺度的椭圆形开口在为凉亭内部提供照明的同时，也将不同方位的户外景色围框在内。

Upon crossing the threshold the user stands slightly above ground level, after which a sunken seating area offers enclosed and semi-enclosed space, with built in seating that follows the fluid contours of the space. Here differently proportioned elliptical openings frame views to the surroundings whilst providing daylight to the interior.

Ben van Berkel：“我一直对日常空间的探索保有兴趣，希望通过挖掘微妙的和令人深思的空间体验来代替我们所熟知的日常空间。作为一个临时性场所，Ellipsicoon为人带去了短暂的尘世逃脱之感。身临其中，所有日常的琐碎都将褪去，而思绪与想象则会瞬间降临。”

Ben van Berkel: “I have long been interested in exploring spaces which extend function to replace the reality of the everyday with the potential for more nuanced, reflective experiences. The Ellipsicoon offers a place of temporary disengagement, where the practicalities, duties and interruptions of daily life can momentarily fade and the imagination can take over.”
