Explanation:

Explanation:

This is a Danish pavilion showcased at the Shanghai Expo in 2010. It was designed
by 3 companies: BIG, ARUP and 2+1. The big spiral loop of the pavilion allows for
visitors to ride bicycles around it. In the centre of the huge spiral lies a pool with
water for visitors to swim in. It is made of steel and is 3km2 in size.

This is a multi-purpose pavilion built in Seaford, Australia in 2011 for a lawn bowls
club. It was designed by Jackson Clements Burrows Architects. It is made primarily
of timber and concrete and is 580 m 2 in size. The shape of this building is meant to
resemble the sand dunes found in the area.

Cons:
Not really multipurpose
Probably expensive to build
Almost too spacious

Handicap-friendly
Multipurpose building with caf and centre
Multifunction building in that it hosts bowls and Sea Scouts
