Perspectives | Pavilion by Giles Miller Studio

‘Perspectives’ is an elliptical-shaped pavilion structure made of a steel framework covered with Cedar Shingles. Set atop the Surrey Hills along a scenic walking route in Winterfold Forest, the United Kingdom, this organic pavilion was created by Giles Miller Studio in 2016. BAT Construct contributed to the installation by putting all the steelwork in place and making sure that all is safe and ready for the Cedar Shingles to be fitted.

Inspired by the words and messages etched by people in public places, on trees, benches and elsewhere, Giles Miller has collated poetry, messages, initials and messages of love and memory from local schools, residents and other contributors to the project. These messages have been etched onto the surface of the organic cedar shingles that cover the piece, and appear to throw themselves out towards the front of the sculpture as if voicing their sentiments to the world that opens up below.
