# Angular Sports Pavilions The Dendy Park Sporting Pavilion References Athletics By Joey Haar | Published 2018-02-23 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dendy-park References: [archdaily](https://www.archdaily.com/889347/dendy-park-sporting-pavilion-cohenleigh-architects) Athletics require a combination of power, agility, and finesse, and the Dendy Park Sports Pavilion is designed to mimic those qualities. The public building features an [angular roof](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/what-goes-around-bandstand) that is a visual metaphor for the dynamism displayed in the sports that are frequently played nearby. Though the building is only a single storey tall, it still manages to stand out in the [vast field](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vibrant-sports-park) at the edge of which it sits. That's because of the bold shape of the roof — a combination of abrupt upward lines and seemingly random cavities. Though that roof might look haphazard, it is designed to give spectators a combination of [shade and open sight lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rosemary-brown) as they watch the games on the field.
