A collaboration between architecture students from the University of Saint Joseph and  City University of Hong Kong, the Cloud Pavilion is a temporary structure located at the edge of Sai Van Lake. The tensegrity structure is constructed from bamboo rods, steel cables, and fabric panels, and enlivened by a computer-controlled light-and-sound show. By applying advanced digital design techniques to vernacular construction materials, the pavilion is intended as a link between Macau’s historical building traditions and contemporary cityscape.
