PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The Sensory Pavilion, nestled in The Audio-Reader Network’s Sensory Garden, is a semi-permanent structure designed by The University of Kansas’ Dirt Works Studio. The pavilion is comprised of a compacted earth floor; a series of three low rammed earth walls and a nine foot tall rammed earth column; a charred cedar screen wall; built-in cedar benches; and a mass timber screw-laminated charred cedar roof clad in powder-coated steel shingles. All major components of the pavilion interlock into the others - the bench interlocks with the rammed earth and cedar screen walls and the screen walls interlock with the mass timber roof structure above.
