The Tishman Speyer Pavilion was conceived to engage with the urban space—facilitating experiences, the exchange of ideas, and connections—while simultaneously serving as a refuge from the bustle of modern life. Open to the public free of charge, the space brings together works by renowned artists such as Artur Lescher, Tomie Ohtake, and Amélia Toledo. The Pavilion is a work of art that provides experiences and connects the neighborhood to the future. The architectural design was developed by Atelier Peclat and consists of sandblasted glass block walls, reviving an element of 1960s architecture. This structure lends an intangible quality to the space, with its transparencies and opacities, creating a sense of mystery through the interplay of light and shadow formed between the interior and exterior areas.
