The Timeout is a 7-feet-high pavilion designed using cutting-edge parametric architecture techniques. Composed of abstract components that resemble animals in motion, it swirls into an endless, dynamic form. This architectural marvel embodies a forced dichotomy between the playful and the grotesque, evoking childhood memories and surreal dreams.
