"Pavilion" is originated from the French "paveillun" and the latin, "Papilio", with a hint on the concept of an outstanding lightweight structure to create an open space for various functions. Wish Lantern Pavilion defines space according to its functions; thus, it changes with its nature. Sitting at the tip of the West Kowloon Development, the Wish Lantern Pavilion embraces the magnificent world‐renowned Victoria Harbor view with the ICC tower as its backdrop. There, this urban oasis stands as the public retreat in the metropolis.

In sync with nature, the " Wish Lantern Pavilion" is composed in 3 plug‐in Design for Disassembly systems, the Shells, the Water Lotus and the Mat. Diversity is achieved through design variations that individualize these spatial complexes. Each Shell and each Lotus is conceived of as a freestanding component, fixed to the interlocking modular Mats according to needs. The Shells define quality space for stage and venue. Each has the flexibility to extend and merge with the surrounding public area to cover main programs, ranging from performance ranging from street set to small theatrical standard.

The Shell Canvas is shaped by a steel frame in covering of nylon fabric, that come from the Hong Kong Legendary Red‐White‐Blue bags. Its retractable mechanism takes up the idea of a Chinese festive lantern, folding from top down. The Shells become benches when fully folded. Enable to serve a wide range of functions, the shells open and connect to redefine negative and positive space in different scenario. The Lotus canopies loosely fill in the gaps between the Shells and provide naturally spread of sun shading and rain protection over the space defined. Flexibility in the overall design is achieved by controlling the number of the components and repositioning of these units. The self‐sustainable design for Disassembly system allows the Pavilions to be easily movable and fully capable in adapting to many different sites anywhere in the site. This perfect marriage of aesthetic design and simple technology achieve great extent of flexibility in a competitive cost.
