The winding path represents the sometimes difficult and not very clear path that immigrants must follow to adapt to a new city and new lifestyle. To give dynamism to the route of the pavilion, the floor of the path will be painted in a gradient of four colors that represent the transition of the four seasons that are experienced in a marked way in Canada, spring, summer, autumn and winter. The change in color on the ground will also be reflected by the cylinders giving a different feel to each section of the course.

Inside the pavilion

The concept of diversity will be reflected precisely by the difference in the dimensions of the cylinders, no cylinder will be exactly the same as another. For every immigrant, the feeling of loneliness and isolation is common. By multiplying the reflections of the cylinders, the pavilion welcomes everyone with a silent but clear message: “You are not alone, more people like you live here".

lighting the pavillion

Some of the cylinders will be crowned with a luminous bubble powered by solar energy. During the night these bubbles will illuminate the pavilion and, through the reflection of the cylinders, will multiply their brightness and quantity, giving the illusion of walking through a constellation of stars.
