This public project by SUS&HI Office strikes such exquisite harmony with the Han-River that the Dancing Water Pavilion takes on a life of its own. Floating on Seoul's major waterway, this [intricate lattice landmark](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/baker-creek-pavilion) mimics the water's reaction to invisible energies.

Extremely organic in form, the [serpentine Dancing Water Pavilion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pasona-natureverse-pavilion) embodies its own structural ripples along its perforated shell. Reclaiming the river as the city's livelihood once more, this sinuous space provides places for [large and small community gatherings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/radius-transformation-pavilion) that bring people back to the banks.
