OVERVIEW

Designed to serve as landmarks that catalyze street life in a former industrial area of Houston’s East Downtown neighborhood, the EaDo Park Kiosks are street food pavilions. Featuring two variations that each consists of lightweight fabric canopies atop modest, delicately tiled masses, the pavilions explore the intersection of light forms, materiality, and adaptable use. This approach keeps the construction cost within the budget and enables the pavilion to illuminate at night, transforming into a glowing lantern or projection screen, effectively marking its presence within the neighborhood.
