Two sculptural roof canopies definethepavilionandprovidespatialdefinitionandprotectionfortwokiosks,alarge-scalemapoftheislandsincised into the pavement, and a permanent exhibit that highlights the rich historical and ecological diversity of the archipelago. The open-air pavilion is staffed by National Park Service rangers and personnel from the BostonHarborIslandAlliance,theParkService’snon-profitpartner.

The pavilion was located and shaped by carefully studying the structure from a variety of vantage points using a digital model that included the surrounding urban context. The pavilion roofs guide rainwater from the structures into a catch basin, which then guides stormwater into an irrigation system for the adjacent lawn..
