Appreciation towards Cooper Joseph Studio for providing the following description:

这个遮阳亭位于德克萨斯州达拉斯一个社区足球场和操场之间。大胆的以最纯粹的几何形体实现功能，顶部夸张的厚度就像树冠那样。如此具有重量感的遮阳亭竟然悬在让人叹为观止的三个支撑臂之上。

厚重的天花内部被掏成金字塔造型般，同时被上上鲜明欢快的亮黄色。这样后的天花板源于天然的通风原理，可以将亭下的热空气尽量带走，并形成微风。外壁是原始具有重量的机理混凝土表皮，天花内部是光洁的内壁。造型简练，用简单的方法漂亮的解决了社会需求。

In Dallas, Texas, the Department of Parks and Recreation is working to replace several decaying, minimal 1960s shelters in the surrounding metropolitan public parks. Sandwiched between a community soccer field and playground, this simple pavilion embraces a passive, natural cooling system that becomes one with the spatial design.

The solution asserts pure geometry to simultaneously achieve bold form and function. A concrete canopy of exaggerated depth enables a simple structure with minimal visible supports to create virtually seamless views of the surrounding site. The result is an impressive cantilever that comfortably sits atop a mere three structural supports. Inside the pavilion, the heavy shell of concrete opens to reveal four playful, pyramidal voids in the roof. Although a whimsical surprise of color, the ceiling’s primary purpose is a natural ventilation system based on a traditional “palapa:” encouraging the hot Texas air to move through the pavilion. Convection breezes are increased as the bold volume perceptually lifts away from the ground, leaving the seating embedded in a berm where the box once was.

The use of raw concrete as both structure and finish makes the shape both expressive and efficient. Both its conceptual model and execution match the demands of program and community with reductive simplicity. This bold result finds its identity in these dualities.
