# Translucent Rainbow Pavilions This Fully Enclosed Rectangular Pavilion Sits on a Slight Incline By Ady Floyd | Published 2015-07-15 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rainbow-pavilions References: [shifta.nl](http://www.shifta.nl/index.php) & [tschumi](http://www.tschumi.com) Shift Architecture Urbanism has re-created this rainbow pavilion based on a design constructed from 1990. The pavilion titled CMY stands for cyan, magenta and yellow. The pretty rainbow pavilion is placed in a park near a bus stop. The location allows it to be a functioning piece of art. The beautiful colors create a sense of play and fun while it also provides a place to stand for those waiting for a bus or simply a shelter from rain, the sun or the wind. The structure sits on a slightly upward angled slant and has two entrances. One entrance is at the bottom of the ramp and the other is at the top, and this one requires a [ladder](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hi-ladders-high). The [translucent colored film](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paviljong-rosendal) cascades light hues of each rainbow color like cyan, magenta, yellow, red and green creating a whimsical aurora. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.9/10 - Popularity: 9% | Activity: 40% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Translucent Structures:** There are possibilities for creating new and innovative structures and shelters with translucent materials. - **Functional Art:** Art can be functional as well as beautiful, offering both aesthetic and practical value to communities. - **Color as Design Element:** The use of color can enhance the design and experience of spaces and structures, creating a unique and memorable environment. ### Where This Applies - **Architecture:** Architects and designers can explore new materials and designs to create innovative and aesthetically beautiful structures and spaces. - **Art:** Artists and designers can combine the beauty of art with the functionality of design to create unique and meaningful works for public spaces and communities. - **Urban Planning:** Urban planners can use functional and beautiful art installations to create engaging and safe public spaces for communities to enjoy and interact with. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Office Building Rainbow Facades](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vertical-rainbow-office.md) - [Interactive Architectural Pavilions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/folding-landscape.md) - [Interactive Public Pavilions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/radius-transformation-pavilion.md) - [Lunar-Based Rotating Pavilions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moon-pavilion.md) - [Everyday Material Colorful Pavilions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/colorful-pavilions.md) - [Orange Marquee Canopy Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mpavilion-9.md) - [Tranquil Round Pavilions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-round-pavilion.md) - [Artful Wooden Pavilions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/orchid-pavilion.md) - [Kaleidoscope Vibrant Pavilions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mountain-view.md)
