# Thicket-Mimicking Pavillions The 'Thicket Pavilion Study 2.0' is a Semi-Clear Steel Rod Structure By Ady Floyd | Published 2015-08-17 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/study-20 References: [barkowleibinger](http://www.barkowleibinger.com/archive/view/thicket_pavilion_study_20) Architect Barkow Leibinger designed this unique structure titled 'Thicket Pavilion Study 2.0.' The pavilion was constructed to create a semi-secluded room. The walls of the pavilion are made of [steel rods](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wire-mesh) that are designed to mimic thickets. The entire structure is surrounded with these rods, which provides only a partial view to the interior. For those inside the pavilion, the main goal is to create the feeling of being isolated. The space was erected to provide an interesting [public meeting space](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/radius-transformation-pavilion) to blur the lines between reality and imagination. The Thicket Pavilion Study 2.0 is a [stand-alone platform](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pujiang-platform-hill) that can be placed in any space from offices to parks. Barkow Leibinger himself says the "pavilion acts as a stage, a refuge, and a visually stimulating phenomenon." ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.9/10 - Popularity: 64% | Activity: 16% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Thicket-mimicking Architecture:** There is an opportunity for architects and designers to create structures that mimic natural elements like thickets to provide unique public meeting spaces and memorable experiences. - **Semi-secluded Environments:** There is an opportunity to create semi-secluded environments that offer an escape for individuals to experience a sense of isolation and privacy, even in public spaces. - **Visually Stimulating Structures:** There is an opportunity for architects and designers to create visually stimulating structures that challenge traditional design concepts and offer a unique experience for individuals interacting with the space. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Architecture:** There is an opportunity for architects to create unique public meeting spaces that challenge traditional design concepts and offer a memorable experience for individuals. - **Public and Open Space:** There is an opportunity to create semi-secluded environments in public and open spaces that provide an escape for individuals to experience a sense of isolation and privacy. - **Event and Hospitality:** There is an opportunity for event and hospitality companies to offer unique meeting and event spaces that challenge traditional design concepts and provide a visually stimulating and memorable experience for attendees. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Interactive Architectural Pavilions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/folding-landscape.md) - [Cantilevered Porous Steel Pavilions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/baker-creek-pavilion.md) - [Artful Wooden Pavilions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/orchid-pavilion.md) - [Charred-Wood Tranquil Pavilions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/3to1-pavilion.md) - [Public Pavilion Architecture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tess-pavilion.md) - [Open-Air Steel Living Space](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/missing-room.md) - [Black-Timber Stealthy Pavilions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dropstop.md) - [Serene Wooden Garden Pavilions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/garden-pavilion-1.md) - [Metal-Wrapped Exhibition Spaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/trace-architecture.md)
