Rain Room: Remaking the Oriental Pavilion in Prospect Park

Outside of the pavilion. Interacting with the rain curtain.
Rain Room remakes the Oriental Pavilion of southeast Prospect Park into a site of public interaction
and play centered around the architectural use of cascading water curtains around the periphery and interior
of the space. The presence of custom-designed seating and sound-design augments the social experience
currently absent from this neglected 19th century relic.
