"An ultra-thin, self-supported, aluminum shell structure for the City of Bellevue, Washington."
"Commissioned by the City of Bellevue, PILOTI is a striking rotunda structure designed by Marc Fornes and THEVERYMANY. Rising as an iconic entrance on the threshold of Bellevue's Downtown Park, PILOTI gathers the city into its embrace while opening onto the green expanse beyond."
PILOTI is an ultra-thin, self-supported aluminum shell rotunda commissioned by the City of Bellevue in Bellevue, Washington. The structure functions as a striking, emblematic entrance at the threshold of Downtown Park. The rotunda gathers the city into its embrace while simultaneously opening to the park's green expanse beyond. The self-supported geometry enables an ultra-thin profile that minimizes visual bulk and maximizes openness. The form reads as both an architectural object and a public threshold, mediating between the urban fabric and parkland and establishing a recognizable civic landmark that frames views and invites passage.
